James E. Tatooles was born in Chicago in 1933 during the waning days of the depression. Together with his brother, "Dino", Jim was raised in a diverse ethnic neighborhood on the North side of Chicago.
He holds a BS in Mechanical Engineering from Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, served a two year stint in the Army Corp of Engineers in Germany, and earned an MBA in the Kellogg School of Business at Northwestern University. After fifty years of building housing developments, commercial and industrial buildings throughout Chicago, Jim moved to Florida with Didi, his wife and backbone.
Uncle Pete sparked Jim's interest in writing at an early age, watching him scribble stories in a wide lined spiral notebook. Jim enjoys being a story teller and family history chronicler. But most of all, Jim is happiest when in the midst of his family and friends including his three children and six grandchildren.
