"Jim: We both thrive on adventure, and the thought of some father/daughter bonding was appealing." Jim & Marsha are a father-daughter Team from Jacksonville, Florida. Jim, who is married to Marsha's mother, Linda, is a helicopter pilot who spent 23 years in the military, including a tour in Vietnam. As a military family, they were fortunate to have had their primary residence in Jacksonville for many years, but they have also spent two years living in Germany. Marsha is a law student at the University of Florida College of Law. She said that as a child she was an ugly duckling, but transformed herself when she became an NFL cheerleader for the Jacksonville Jaguars and also posed for the cheerleaders' calendar. Jim & Marsha believe that this experience will give them the opportunity to work as partners rather than father and daughter. Marsha says she hopes this will force her dad to view her in a different light. Jim says they are excited about competing in THE AMAZING RACE 5 because "it would be a chance of a lifetime, especially for someone like me, who has never won a thing in his life!"

When and where did you meet? Jim: We're father and daughter; need we say more? If you could describe your relationship in one phrase or sentence, what would it be? Jim: Traditional father and daughter, with all the age-old disagreements and concerns. Have you ever traveled together before? If so, what were the best and worst aspects of traveling together? Jim: We've never traveled together before. Why did you decide to team up for THE AMAZING RACE? Jim: We both thrive on adventure, and the thought of some father/daughter bonding was appealing. As you begin the Race, how do you think this experience will affect your relationship? Jim: I hope it will become stronger by learning more about each other. What strengths and weaknesses do you bring to the Team? Jim: I bring organization, discipline and experience. A weakness could be the inability to treat Marsha as an equal instead of my daughter. What strengths and weaknesses does your teammate bring to the Team? Jim: Determination and athletic ability are her strong points. Being impulsive could be a weakness.
