Throughout the course of his business career Jim was involved in numerous real estate projects in the Huntington area, including Garden Farms, Indian Meadows and Guyan Estate Subdivisions. As a sales manager, Jim was integral to the success of the family business, Setzer’s World of Camping in Huntington, before it was sold. He went on to pursue a passion for Italian food by opening his first restaurant, Little Venice Pizza and Spaghetti House, in 1976 in Williamson, West Virginia. The success of the original location led to additional restaurants in Matewan and Princeton West Virginia. After exiting the restaurant business his later business endeavors included working for Option One Mortgage and Sun Homes in Florida. In addition to career accomplishments, Jim was an avid boxing enthusiast as both a participant in Golden Gloves and also as an announcer of boxing matches at Huntington Memorial Field House.
