Welcome to Jim Davis’s autobiography. Jim is an Iowa farm boy, steeped in family values, shaped by strong parents and family, practiced throughout his life, resulting in an accomplished educational record, a dedicated Marine Corps officer, a successful corporate career, a life in active retirement of continuing his life-long practice of giving time and treasure back to society for the benefits and rewards of a blessed life well lived.

This autobiography is dedicated to Jim’s immediate and extended Davis family, including 22 currently living Davis first cousins – of originally 34 in his Davis’ family generation - a number of whom contributed to the Davis family history included in this project.  He has included contemporary current events in this work to provide connections to the Davis family life with the national and world events which very much helped shape these lives.

Since this autobiography will be continually updated as long as he is able to do so, any corrections and suggested additions from readers will be gladly accepted. Simply use the CONTACT JIM link on the menu at the left.
