Are you named after anyone? A Great Great Great Uncle on my father’s side
Hobbies/Interests: Reading.
Do you use sarcasm a lot? No, I don’t get away with it.
Favorite Smell: Toss up between Leather and spent Fireworks
Favorite Color: Gray. I actually didn’t realize it at first, an old girlfriend had to tell me. She asked me the same question and I told her that I didn’t really know so she looked around at my personal possessions and figured it out.
Favorite Movie: I can’t say if it’s my favorite but it would be the one that I watch most often on lazy afternoons. The Whole Nine Yards.

What is the furthest you’ve been away from home? Seattle, Wa. Flew there and back. It was raining for half my visit.

Can You Juggle? Not even a little
Do you eat the stems of broccoli? Yes.
Beach, Mountains or City? I am a fair-skinned red-head and the beach only gives me sunburns. No thank you. My best vacation ever included chopping wood with a long-handled axe on the slopes of snow covered mountain forest.
Glass half empty or half full: Half full is an illusion.
Your Guilty Pleasure
- Movie: Chick Flicks and Foreign Films.
Strong in mind or Strong in body? My choice would be Strong in Mind, of course. Aren’t most stories about David beating Goliath? Out thinking your opponent? Work smarter not harder? Besides, look at the ongoing Olympics. Doesn’t the advancement in technology and science make athletes all the more skilled in their events? Strong in mind would make me strong in body.
Technology or Art? Art is good to have around but Technology invented the toothbrush.

 Jim Welch
VP -Import &
Marketing Manager
Company History
Family? I consider myself so blessed. I have a wonderful wife, Ginger, that I married in 1971, and we have three fantastic sons and three beautiful daughters-in-law...and we're all still talking!
They've given us 7 grandkids (6 boys and 1 girl, which we will spoil
rotten). My middle son, Robert, joined me in the business as soon as he passed his CPA exams, and
was immediately made Pres. It's been a real privilege to work with him every day! He really is modest, but is the daily operations and accounting brains behind Wishihadthat...we could not do what
we do without him!
I'm now living a double life since Ginger retired
from teaching. We moved to KY, and I will be overseeing our new warehouse there, but still have a home about an
hour from the office in Pine Mountain Club. We go back and forth
every few months.
2 or 3 things about yourself that most people don’t know: I’ve written hundreds of songs & poems, even a couple of books…no joke! I've copyrighted several volumes at the Library of Congress, but never tried to publish. Maybe someday. I have a lot of creative energy, I guess.
Pets: Being over 60, they keep dying on me. Currently, my best
furry friend is a Goldendoodle named Baxter
plus a Miniature Schnauzer named Sadie.
Hobbies/Interests: Travel - I've
posted many recent adventures
online. I collect movies, which drives my wife crazy...but it's my only vice so she puts up with it. Maybe I need a new one?
Thoughts on retiring? I'm on the plus side of
60, but love my business and think I'd be totally bored not working, at least part-time. Definitely, more travel in our future,
though!.
Favorite Food: What's for dinner tonight? Actually, I do most of the cooking in our empty-nest house...which generally means we go out to eat a LOT. It was a good trade for me...she pays all the bills, and I get to cook occasionally. Does that answer the question?
Do you use sarcasm a lot? Who, me?
Would you bungee jump? I’d love to. Fact is, I don’t know why I haven’t done something like that. Ditto for the parachute insanity. I used to be a diver and
spent a good deal of time on a trampoline, so I'd probably like the bouncing up and down!
Beach, Mountains or City? Give me my tall pines and cool breezes in the mountains any day.
Glass half empty or half full: I’m ever the optimist, so definitely half full.
Personal Quote: As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.
If you could have one super power: to be able to s-t-r-e-t-c-h t-i-m-e
Strong in mind or Strong in body? I’m getting older, and the body doesn’t do as much for me…but I still THINK it does, so I guess I’d have to say mind.
Technology or Art? Technology has brought the world to people, made art accessible, and put at everyone's fingertips the ability to manipulate or create some weird stuff.
However, you can no longer believe anything you see. For
example, photos...I've never been to see the Matterhorn, yet I'm
"there" in my picture (also 30 pounds lighter!) So, I have
the greatest respect for those that can create real art using non-technical means.
Personal Website: Besides Wishihadthat and
RoJico? I started a family photo
gallery which is fun, and a new Rep marketing site: www.DecorReps.com. |

Favorite Color: Forest Green
Favorite Movie: Man on Fire
Favorite TV Sport: Football
Favorite sport to play: Paintball
Would you bungee jump? YES!
Would you parachute? You have to die sometime, might as well die after a great view, so yes.
What is the furthest you’ve been away from home? 3,296 miles or is it 3,297
