Jim Brooks

Web, Graphic Design and Technical

Jim Brooks handles the Web stuff, graphic design and technical aspects of The Mad Turtle.

An avid car guy, Jim owns a 2006 Mustang GT show car that is as mean on the street as it is beautiful. Based in St. Louis, Missouri, he makes the local show circuit as often as possible.

Other interests include music and video production with a heavy lean towards producing his band and their albums. Known as the head "knob twiddler," Jim has had a life-long second career in the music and film/video industry. He is a certifiable audio nut, with a serious affliction in home theater.

However, Jim's love for cars will always remain at the forefront.
