James M Jagers

Moved to Dallas 28 years ago to take an engineering manager position for Mestex, my current employer. We make industrial heating and AC equipment. I expect to retire at the end of 2023.

I graduated from Ferris in 1994 with a BS in Electrical & Electronics Engineering Technology. In 1997 I completed an MS in Management & Administrative Services from the University of Texas at Dallas.

I enjoy making furniture, coin collecting, and stamp collecting.

Lois, my wife, and I enjoy visiting the national parks. We have visited 29 to date. My favorite park so far has been Teton, but Isle Royale is a close second.

I once fit 11 drunk teenagers in my 1967 Opel Cadet. There were 4 in the 2 front bucket seats, 8 on the rear bench seat and 1 on the rear window shelf.

When we first went to high school on 44th Street, it included the 8th grade. I was the second shortest boy in the school. Chris Hill was shorter.
