Having spent 30 years as a commercial fisherman, and survived, now an owner of a marine insurance company I feel for both sides. But I must clarify that to get proper hull insurance and pollution coverage to meet the needs of Bristol, RI its about 2%, not 10%, of hull value.

I enjoy helping out fisherman anyway I can to make sure they have proper coverages and get them through tough times.

A lifelong Portsmouth resident, Jim graduated from Portsmouth High School in 1982 and earned a journalism degree from the University of Rhode Island in 1986. He's worked two different stints at East Bay Newspapers, for a total of 18 years with the company so far. When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
