Jamie grew up in Farmington where he attended school.  After high school and at a young age, he began working at Presbyterian Manor where he was a Med Tech.  Later, he went to work at Southwestern Bell, now AT&T, where he made his career as an operator.   A talented guitarist and vocalist, he regularly performed locally.
