After stops in all four of Canada’s Western provinces, Jim Carey’s family settled in Winnipeg in 1967, where he has lived ever since. He graduated from the University of Manitoba in 1980 with a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering and worked for a small, family-owned custom steel manufacturer for more than three decades, specializing in the field of operational excellence. From there, he worked for the Winnipeg division of a global aerospace parts manufacturer until retiring in 2017 to dedicate time to the ideas that led to the publication of The Wisdom Theory.
