Jim's goal when starting Gray Hill Solutions with William Rowden was to build a company that was designed to solve tough problems with a great deal of flexibility and personal warmth. Jim believes that communication is vital for the creation of good software and good business solutions. His background in technology, urban planning, psychology and business management leads him to understand the environment in which needs arise, as well as the needs themselves. In order to solve a problem you must fully understand its context. With nearly 20 years of experience in providing solutions to complex institutional problems, Jim brings considerable technology brainstorming and problem-solving skills to Gray Hill. He has created technology master plans and applications for several major US states and cities. Jim is also responsible for Gray Hill's business development and partnering efforts and loves to examine new possibilities. Outside the office, Jim likes to travel, eat (very) well, create music and read. Just prior to starting Gray Hill, Jim also started another partnership with his wife, Vivian Lam.
