Jim Lynch's CBS Bio |
| Jim Lynch was born and raised the youngest
of eight children in Scottsbluff, Nebraska. At age 18, he
graduated high school and joined the US Marine Corp, where he served
four years traveling extensively, including time at the Cuban
Blockade in 1962. In 1963, Lynch married his junior high school
sweetheart, Carol.
After serving with the U.S. Marines, Lynch and Carol
moved back to Nebraska and then to Denver, Colorado. He sold real
estate for awhile and eventually joined the Aurora Fire Department in
1972. While continuing his work at the fire department, Lynch received
his Associate of Arts degree from Red Rocks College in Lakewood,
Colorado.
Having received many promotions and accolades while
with the fire department, Lynch eventually attained the rank of captain.
In 2002, with 30 years service, Lynch chose to retire and travel.
He and Carol have been traveling extensively throughout the world,
including visits to India, Tibet, the Himalayas and Annapurna regions of
Nepal. In April 2004, Lynch climbed Mt. Huena in Peru.
When not traveling, Lynch volunteers with the
Northglenn Urban Renewal Authority and the Northglenn Citizens Affairs
Board. He is currently writing a Model Noise Bill for the State of
Colorado. Additionally, he is building a jet turbine sport
helicopter while also taking flight lessons. In his spare time,
Lynch enjoys golf and building and repairing things.
Lynch currently resides in Northglenn, Colorado, with
Carol, their children, Jeff and Cynthia, and their dog, Alex. His
birth date is January 7, 1942. |
