Jim met Ellen while working at Northwest. Jim and Ellen hit it off immediately, and were married on January 22, 1993. They loved each other deeply and worked hard to blend their families together.

When Jim and Ellen had time for just the two of them, they loved taking walks and biking. They loved spending time in different towns, and going to different events. They especially loved going to the Minnesota State Fair.
