My name is Jim (aka. Farmer Jim) and I am in my mid-60s. I have always loved the outdoors– gardening, wildlife, and photography. We used to camp and take pictures of wildlife and nature and take nature walks. I love planting new things in my garden every year and growing new things. I have a wonderful wife, one daughter, and three granddaughters that I love very much. I also have two Beagles, Flynn, and Buford, that I love dearly.

Before I got the FND diagnosis, I was diagnosed with a stroke and MS. In 2019 they officially gave me the FND diagnosis. Things were looking bleak for me until I met Dr. Moenter and started the FNDcourage course. I was working 40-60 hours a week and holding down three work positions. I was placed on disability and I am now on SSDI. Dr. Moenter taught me how to slow down and enjoy life. I have met wonderful FND friends and made priceless friendships. I am committed to helping find ways to make it easier for us to live with FND. I am always trying new things and providers to help with the daily struggles we have with FND. If it was not for my drive to get better, I would not be in the place that I am right now.
