Jim Philips was born and raised on Staten Island, NY, Jim exhibited psychic abilities from an extremely early age, and was deemed "special" by many in his family. Because no fuss was made over these early psychic "events," he maintained as normal a childhood as possible aside from walking a stuffed deer to school everyday. It seemed easy for Jim to develop his abilities to their fullest because of the acceptance of psychic phenomena in his family.

After graduating high school, Jim enrolled at Hofstra University, where he obtained a degree in Health Care Administration. He maintained a management position in a walk-in clinic in the Poughkeepsie area as head nurse, but became interested in radio after a "voice" told him it was God's will. From that point on, Jim rarely talked about his psychic gift and usually will downplay it if it comes up in conversation. Jim lives in a small wooded cottage in Connecticut with his wife. He makes the daily commute, but due to the speed needed to get to work on time, he is routinely pulled over by the state police and issued tickets.
