Author and consultant Jim McGillis was born in Los Angeles, California, raised in nearby Burbank and graduated from UCLA. During the course of his career, Jim worked in retailing, aerospace, systems sales, executive recruiting and more recently as an author and consultant.
Jim's first published book, titled "WindSong", in honor of his classic 1970 Ericson 35 sailboat, is available as an eBook, online at JamesMcGillis.com.
Jim's second book, titled "The Self-Directed
Job Search" is available as an eBook at
his executive recruiting website,
Meditsearch.com.
In 1965, during his first visit to the Four
Corners states of Arizona, Colorado, New
Mexico and Colorado, Jim discovered a great
affinity for the history, culture and geography
of the Southwestern United States.
In the past five years, Jim traveled and
lived in each of those states for extended
periods. His photo journalism about
those and many other subjects is available
for you to review at
JamesMcGillis.com.
In 2008, Jim launched a new internet portal focused on his favorite town of Moab, Utah. With over sixty sample Moab-named websites previewed there, there you will discover many pages of unique and contemporary information regarding Moab and all of Southeastern Utah. Featuring both a live Moab Webcam and a live Moab Newsfeed, you will find Jim's new Moab web portal at MoabLive.com.
In 2009, Jim launched MoabJim.com, where you will find unique, hand-crafted, one-of-a-kind items for sale.
Since the non-fiction genre can be limiting,
Jim decided to publish his (and the world's
first) interactive online novel. Among
other things, it focuses on The Four Corners
states and the Old Spanish Trail, which
once stretched from Santa Fe, New Mexico
to Los Angeles, California.
