 Jim was born and raised in Western Pennsylvania. He received his B.S. (Admin Management) and MBA from Penn State. After nearly 28 years with the Federal Government in Washington, DC he retired in 2002. He has shown occasionally and prefers the administrative side over being in the ring—unless a Seattle, Riley, or a Sammy puppy is on the other end of the lead. Jim currently manages the dog kennel in Woodland, WA and has worked as a sub teacher for over 12 years working with pre-school students up to 12th grade. He served as Samoyed Club of America (SCA) president for 3 years and lost track of how many years he served as SCA treasurer. He has been local club (Willamette Valley Samoyed Fanciers) president for 6-7 years and is currently local club treasurer. Jim "retired" as Treasurer for the SCA Education and Research Foundation in October 2012. The Story of Rex of White Way, The Blizzard King was published in November 2012.

 Christie's love of Judging came from her love of dogs. She judges the Working Group, most of the Non-Sporting Group, Miscellaneous, Junior Showmanship and Best in Show. Each assignment is a new adventure; an adventure that says, today may be the day she sees that dog that just takes her breath away; that is sound, possesses breed type and a heart that enables them to both do the job they were bred to do and to please its owner. As a breeders, whether new pet families or show homes, the joy of making new friends, helping them to live in harmony with their new lifelong companion, their adventure in the show ring or encouraging them in the working events, Christie, together with Jim and Ryann are devoted to them and their varying endeavors. From Keta's accomplishments in weight-pull, herding and therapy, Jamie's three seasons on the Silver Hollow Sled teams, Riley and Maker continued contributions in therapy have followed in the footsteps of Grand Dam Seattle, and Doni, Kai and Noah worked in Skijoring, herding and back-packing, Christie, Jim and Ryann strive to produce dogs able to both physically and mentally enjoy the vast array of working events. They feel a great pride in these versatile d'Keta dogs.
