Developer & founder
Hi, I’m Jim. I ride dirt bikes and stand-up jet skis, race motocross, and spend plenty of time in sim games like MX Bikes. I’ve traveled across America to ride and race, and grew up on the water.
I’ve been developing professionally since I was 12, starting with games. PWC Simulator brings that experience together with the riding and sims I love. I’m building it solo at Jordan Lake, North Carolina.
