Born in Baltimore Maryland, Jim was raised in a large family of aunts and uncles and a ton of cousins. They all lived near each other and attended the same church where they took over the music department as well as deacons, ushers, Sunday school teachers, youth pastor and whatever else they needed. In ’81 Jim left to attend Southeastern University in Lakeland, Florida, where he studied music and played bass in several groups during his college years. After college, he met his wife, Tracy, started working at WCIE FM and continued to play bass at the 10,000 seat church. Jim currently lives in Anderson, South Carolina with his wife and two kids while the two older ones live in Reno, NV and Nashville, TN. After 30 years, Jim left radio to work on his voice-over business called Mann Made Productions as well as help with the business side of his wife’s After School Care. Currently, Jim co-hosts a podcast called My Pleasure: The Unofficial Chick-fil-A Podcast with Alison Storm, a former radio coworker.
Now Jim has the privilege of hosting the Healing Strong podcast called, I Am Healing Strong. Jim with his Stage IV Melanoma journey brings stories of those who are thriving in this life that brings so many curveballs along the way.

PART 2 is out with Olympic ice skater, Scott Hamilton...
⛸️Following his mother’s passing and his own survival of stage 3 testicular cancer, Hamilton launched the Scott Hamilton CARES Foundation (Cancer Alliance for Research, Education and Survivorship) in 2014, with a mission to improve cancer patient survivorship by supporting world class cancer research and the highest quality patient treatment and care. The same year, he founded the Scott Hamilton Skating Academy, in partnership with the NHL’s Nashville Predators, at Ford Ice Centers in Antioch, Bellevue and Clarksville, TN, to offer students programs to help them fall in love with ice skating.
🎧Listen to part 2 as Scott and Jim (stage 4 melanoma thriver), discuss treatment decisions, understanding your choices, being informed, seeking advice from multiple medical experts to understand the variety of options available, holistic health, including lifestyle changes and more.

Have you ever needed to trust God in moments you may not see him?
There are times in our lives when God is working behind the scenes, but we don`t see Him nor feel His presence. The book of Esther doesn`t mention the name of God, but He was directing every step of her story.
The newest HealingStrong Bible plan on the Bible app has officially LAUNCHED as of today!!!
TRUSTING God`s Plan When You Don`t See Him: Lessons from the Book of Esther
Check it out, and comment "ESTHER" if you`d like the link to the plan sent directly to your DM`s 🩷
