Jim Crocker was born and raised on Cape Cod in a large family with his parents and five sisters. He attended public schools and is a graduate of Barnstable High School.  

Jim's parents instilled in him the family values that believe that success is achieved through hard work, and in addition, service to the community was expected and honorable.  Most importantly, they taught Jim to love Cape Cod and the Islands, to have the courage to stand up for his convictions, and the fight passionately to serve others.

Jim graduated cum laude with a B.S. in Economics at Suffolk University in Boston.  He is also a licensed real estate broker, construction supervisor, home improvement specialist, and a certified Title 5 inspector.

His parents both served on town boards, and were successful small business owners in construction and real estate. Those two businesses, led by Jim, are still mainstays in the Cape and Islands economy.

At the age of twenty-eight, Jim became the President of his first Cape Cod company, and he has created jobs and opportunities in our region for many people over the past thirty-two years. He is also a leader in the business community.
