( This Interview took place on August 28th, 2018)
Jim discusses: The invaluable lessons he learned from the legendary Ron Von Hagen, his 3 most memorable wins, an EPIC rally he and Greg Lee had against Ron Von Hagen and Tom Chamales at the '76 World Championships at State Beach when the ball crossed the net 13 TIMES, a match against Kirk Kilgour and Doug Dunlap when they were absolutely crushing balls, the best hitters he faced during his career, the best diggers, who he believes are the 3 BEST players in this history of the sport on the beach, Ron Lang and how AMAZING her was in SO MANY ways, his thoughts on the rule changes to the short court and rally scoring, his answers to some amazing questions from the fans ( including which beach had the best groupies, being the AVP tournament director, the naked coke commercial he did, how he got his nickname "cookie", and how the Mikasa Suede Spike ball ended his career), how the beach changed in '82 when the NEXT generation of players came along ( Sinjin, Dane, Fish, Randy, Andrew Smith), and an amazing trip he made to Costa Rica with Jon Lee, Boomer Millken, and Mark Jacobs where Jon Lee saved them all from going to jail with with his fluent grasp of the Spanish language, charm, and wit, and what he's up to today.....
