Jim co-founded Forum One Communications in 1996, awestruck by the possibilities of the web and online community. Jim plays a lead role in Forum One's work to guide public and private sector organizations in strategic use of the web. Among other activities, he oversees senior client work involving global health and other topics, and helps lead Forum One Networks, the online community research and events activities of Forum One. Jim is also a noted expert and frequent speaker about the development of online collaboration.

Prior to Forum One Communications, Jim co-founded the Eurasia Foundation, a Washington D.C.-based grant-making organization. At Eurasia, Jim served as Senior Program Officer and Chief Financial Officer as the Foundation grew from three staff members to over 100, nine offices in seven countries, and an annual budget of over 25 million dollars. Jim loves travel, having lived, worked and toured in over fifty countries. Along the way he learned Spanish and Russian. Like most people working on web initiatives, Jim has an eclectic background, with a science degree from Stanford University, a public policy degree from the Kennedy School of Government, and a medical degree from Harvard Medical School.

Jim serves on the Board of Advisors of MEETUP and VoterWatch.
