Reminiscing

It’s been a busy summer thus far at RAWZ.  Not only is it incredibly exciting to see RAWZ on the shelves of our fantastic retail partners, but my little brother, Andy, got married on Saturday!  It was great to see so many people who have played important roles in our lives.  It was a special day to see Andy marry Katie surrounded by loved ones in a beautiful setting.

As I reconnected with a lot of the people I grew up with, I was struck by how often our conversations centered on fond memories of Boomer, our family’s Yellow Lab.  I tried to catch up with as many people as possible while almost always having recollections of Boomer’s mischief and penchant as a food thief finding there way into the conversation.

Prompted by a funny story or cute memory about Boomer, we would then talk about the pets that are currently part of our lives.  Inevitably, before the conversation was over, cell phones came out displaying countless pictures of each of our pets.  Not only was it a joyous celebration of Andy and Katie’s marriage, but also a great reminder of how special the bond between a person and their pet is.

A third-generation RAWZ family member, Jim spreads the word of optimal pet nutrition through in-store product demos and regular articles for the RAWZ blog. After sustaining a traumatic brain injury in 2006, Jim began participating in the writing program at the Krempels Center in Portsmouth, NH. Writing was a way to process and heal from his injury — but Jim realized he could also use this skill to spread awareness of the RAWZ brand and mission. Jim covers a range of pet health issues for the company blog, as well as more personal stories that connect to the causes RAWZ supports. His favorite thing to write about? People’s strong bonds with their pets.

Outside of his RAWZ duties, Jim is an avid golfer, a traveling speaker for the Krempels Center and an injury prevention awareness advocate. In 2013 Jim published his memoir, “More Than a Speed Bump” documenting his personal experience with traumatic brain injury and his journey to recovery. He’s also a proud pet parent to his black lab Clooney, who he credits with keeping him active.
