Jim Kelly
Naples, Florida, United States

Meet SMWW agent advisor Jim Kelly, a legal studies graduate from the University of Illinois and now a transplant of five years living in Naples, Florida.  Born in Sevierville, Tennessee and married with two daughters and now a grandfather of one granddaughter and two grandsons, this former Marine Corps veteran during the Vietnam era still finds the time to do soemthing he feels is very rewarding, and that's looking out for his fellow athletes well being and best interests and advising them in making the right decisions when entering a professional sports career.  Jim has never been one dimensional when it comes to his love for sports, playing football in his earlier years, basketball, lettered at golf four years in a high school, and later scouted for baseball his first year at college before doing a tour of duty of military service.  Before returning to college and graduating, Jim worked the road, traveled and played clubs and had dreams of being a lead singer in a southern rock n' roll band.  While Jim's love for music has never died, he realized he needed to do something constructive with his life and returned to college and graduated in 1993.  Even now as he is older he still has that dream and still writes original and commercial songs that he one day might record.  His music experiences and memories of living the Nashville dream will always be something he can be proud of, and he is.  While Jim has lived a very full life, he still finds time for his family and he always has time for his athletes.  Jim has been fortunate to sign potential professional athletes in Southwest Florida region as well as an athlete from Tennessee and hopes to have a successful career in the future.  When given the chance Jim will represent a client in whatever sport it might be and promise to do all that he can for his clients, and at SMWW that's what an agent advisor is expected to do.
