At age 18, he graduated high school and joined the US Marine Corp, where he served four years traveling extensively, including time at the Cuban Blockade in 1962. In 1963, Lynch married his junior high school sweetheart, Carol. After serving with the U.S. Marines, Lynch and Carol moved back to Nebraska and then to Denver, Colorado. He sold real estate for awhile and eventually joined the Aurora Fire Department in 1972. While continuing his work at the fire department, Lynch received his Associate of Arts degree from Red Rocks College in Lakewood, Colorado. Having received many promotions and accolades while with the fire department, Lynch eventually attained the rank of captain. In 2002, with 30 years of service, Lynch chose to retire and travel. He and Carol have been traveling extensively throughout the world, including visits to India, Tibet, the Himalayas and Annapurna regions of Nepal. In April 2004, Lynch climbed Mt. Huena in Peru. When not traveling, Lynch volunteers with the Northglenn Urban Renewal Authority and the Northglenn Citizens Affairs Board. He is currently writing a Model Noise Bill for the State of Colorado. Additionally, he is building a jet turbine sport helicopter while also taking flying lessons. In his spare time, Lynch enjoys golf and building and repairing things. Lynch currently resides in Northglenn, Colorado, with Carol, their children, Jeff and Cynthia, and their dog, Alex. His birth date is January 7, 1942.

I hope the others give him a chance despite his being older probably than most of their parents.

Bad break, Jim, I'm disappointed we won't get to see more of you. I'm not sure they could have found that camp so fast without you. Hope you get that arm fixed up!

Jim should be with Brianna in the 'What Were They Thinking' category. Could you see him in the Immunity Challenge in 114° heat, running around on that net against those young bucks?
