James Stuart Gessner is a graduate of Bucknell University and is a proudly proven, lifelong environmentalist and existentialist.  Jim enjoys flying (has held a private pilot’s license), skiing, reading, sailing, traveling (U.S. and World), scuba diving and sky diving.

Jim grew up on a 300+ acre beef farm in upper Bucks County, PA.  He was taught not to lie, cheat or steal.  His word is his bond and he chooses a life with love and kindness, and “in his end is his beginning”.
