"See the difference is...I actually do the shit you all think about doing"
Jimm can be classified as a "loose cannon" at times, but he's more sane than people would believe. He's never afraid to go out and do what has to be done, no matter how messy it gets. A few of his incidents in Vietnam led him to the point where nothing phases him anymore. The only thing that seems to keep him from going off the deep end is his son...his name is Nick, but Jimmy's always called him Nicky. He used to call him Little Nicky when he was a kid until Nicky made it very clear he hated that name. Jimmy has a lot of faults, but he's always been loyal to Deacon, and the club.
Jimmy dropped out of high school and took off on his parents, doing odd jobs here and there to make money. When he joined the army he met Deacon who was aboutt he same age as he was, but seemed to take him under his wing in a lot of ways, for Jimmy, Deacon was the first real friend he could ever remember having. And that friendship only grew as they each took turns saving each other's lives during their time in Vietnam. When they came back from the war, Jimmy ended up dating some dancer at the local strip club...she got pregnant and they decided to keep the baby and move in together. However shortly after his son was born he came home one day to find Nicky's mom had left, no note, no sign of where she'd gone, just up and left. Since then it's been Jimmy and his son, and while many people may find faults in his parenting, he loves his son more than anything. However he's also been given advice along the way from NIckie...usually unwanted.....but in the end rather useful, although he would never actually let Nickie hear him say that.
