ABOUT JIM

Jim has been the primary design engineer at Viox & Viox since 1968, bringing decades of experience in utility design and a wide range of public and private engineering projects. He currently serves as the City Engineer for Wilder, Kentucky, and has arguably some of the best historical knowledge of Northern Kentucky development projects, and is a treasure-trove of information. Jim enjoys mentoring younger engineers and can be counted on to share his insight and daily wisdom. Outside of work, he spends time with his wife and dog and enjoys vacationing at Lake Cumberland, Kentucky and St. Augustine, Florida.
