Jim Schmitz

Helping others succeed at work, home, and church motivates and inspires Jim. His 35+ year career in finance, business, and leadership began at Scott Paper and progressed to Pacon Corporation for 20+ years where he advanced from Director of Finance to President and led the company through its sale to Fila out of Italy. One of his five children has special needs, and he worked at VPI. Jim still marvels at the “unsurpassed enthusiasm the clients had to get to work” and the valuable lessons his son learned that have allowed him to move to other jobs with success.
