North House Folk School

Jim Ricci is a jack-of-all-trades with decades of experience in woodworking and construction, who discovered his passion for metalworking right here at CAFAC. Jim attributes his love for craftsmanship in part to his grandfather, whose favorite saying was: “you can learn something new every day of your life.” He also learned many important life lessons during his 38-year career with the military traveling the world; most importantly, we are all human and should always treat one another with dignity and respect. It’s Jim’s mission to share the positive experiences and wisdom he has gained along the journey.
