About me:

this is Jim's profile

Hi, what can I say that I haven't said before (without moving my lips, that is)?

I make a living talking to myself... and without medication.

This unusual profession has allowed me to travel the globe entertaining for zillions of people (how many is a zillion?). I've even been fortunate to have been honored with some pretty nice awards for my work along the way.

  • Personal Website

    My family and I live in Branson, Missouri and I look forward to a long run at the Hamner Barber Theater where I perform with my great friends and amazing illusionists, The Hamners. We not only perform together nightly, but we share in the ownership and management of the theater property. We are blessed to be able to control our own destinies to some extent, while enjoying the creative freedom of producing and performing in our own show.

  • Hamner Barber Theater

    If that wasn't enough to keep me busy and out of trouble, I am also an owner-partner in Image Works, Inc., a full-service multimedia company serving businesses and theaters in the Branson market.

  • Image Works, Inc.

    In my spare time (wait... I don't have any spare time) I serve on the board of directors for Mountain Country Homes of Hope, providing decent, affordable housing to deserving families here in the Ozarks of Missouri.

  • Mountain Country Homes of Hope

    Beginning in October 2008, I will also serve on the board of directors for the Branson Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce and CVB. I'm excited to participate in the promotion of our unique and wonderful city.

  • ExploreBranson.com

    And once in a blue moon, I'm able to venture to Ft. Mitchell, KY where I'm proud to sit (with no one else's hand up my back) on the board of advisers to Vent Haven Museum, the World's largest collection of ventriloquist memorabilia and home of the International Vent Haven Ventriloquist ConVENTion. One of the most unique annual getherings ever!
