Jim founded Gaddis Investments in 1977, focusing on commercial real estate sales, development, and site locations; including development of single-family homes, subdivision, condominium projects, apartments (private and federal), office buildings, shopping centers, neighborhood centers, retail corners and pads, industrial buildings and assisted living facilities. Prior to Gaddis Investments Jim worked for five years as a stockbroker with AG Edwards & Sons. His extensive past in the ski industry is part of who he is today. Some of his involvement included being a member of the board and original development team at Snowbird Ski & Summer Resort, the former Public Relations Director for the Alta Ski Area, owner of Gaddis Training Organization (GTO – a training program for young hopeful ski racers which became Park City Mountain Resort’s Ski Team), as well as ski coach, ski instructor, and ski equipment sales rep. Jim is a graduate of the University of Utah with a degree in Banking and Finance. While at the University of Utah he was a member of the Ski and Golf Teams, two-time NCAA All American in alpine skiing, National Giant Slalom Champion and member of the US Ski Team. These past experiences have led Jim to becoming a member of the Utah Ski Hall of Fame, University of Utah Sports Hall of Fame, and Intermountain Ski Hall of Fame. Jim devotes many hours to volunteer work and has been or is currently serving on many non-profit boards and chairing such events including both the Summit County and University of Utah Hospital Boards, U of U Crimson Club Board, Youth Winter Sports Alliance (as founder), National Ability Center, Stein Eriksen YSA Endowment, Honorary Colonels Association, Joe Quinney Winter Sports Center, Alf Engen Ski Museum, J.
