Autorenporträt
James R. Olsen, Jim, is an engineer by trade, having successfully led large-scale, multi-company defense and air traffic control projects. He developed a double-bottom line business inspired by Patagonia. The company engaged in a variety of markets, delivering embedded teams into large projects, property management, and a native plant greenhouse operation. The company engaged with the community, for example, producing the Hamilton Performing Arts Series for a year to transition from the school district to a non-profit. For the last 30 years, Jim has also been a volunteer grass-roots activist engaged in forest and wilderness advocacy, effective domestic abuse intervention, local food systems, community-based mental health crisis management, subdivisions and water quality, and biosafety. For the last ten years, Jim has focused on well-researched nonfiction books for the popular market. His writing hero is Erik Larson.
