New York City born, northern New Jersey raised, the CMI "Mr. President" Jim Stephens is a former pharmacy owner in Jersey and now known around the Colonnades community as the 40,000+ steps a day walking man!
When not putting one foot in front of the other, Jim enjoys fishing, reading and golf, although he claims to be the world's worst! (Tee time for Jim involves Lipton, lemon and one lump).
He's been with his lovely wife, Ellen Van Howling for 48 years. Ellen played a major role in the "new life makeover" of the Colonnades Clubhouse.
