Jim McMillan is presently an Associate Professor and Assistant Chair in the Jiann Ping Hsu School of Public Health.  He has been at Georgia Southern University since Fall of 1986.  Following seven years in the United States Navy Submarine service (USS L. Mendel Rivers, SNN 686, out of Charleston, SC), Jim completed an AA degree from Macon College, BSED in HPE from Georgia Southern College, and Masters and EDD in exercise physiology from Auburn University.  He is currently getting back into the teaching routine after completing two years as Acting Chair.  Jim is currently a member of the American College of Sports Medicine, Southeastern ACSM, National Strength and Conditioning Association, Georgia Association of Health, Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance, and the Georgia Public Health Association.  His research interests include resistance training, nutrition, and getting older (an ongoing area!).  Jim very much enjoys resistance training, aerobic activity (he has migrated from jogging to mostly walking really fast), racquetball, and reading mystery novels.  He also plays golf five or six times a year without much success.  Jim is married to Caroline (twenty years!!!) and between them have two daughters (Caroline and Margaret, yes, twins) and two dogs (Mrs. Tiggywinkle and Bear - well they just got this dog and haven't really settled on a name yet, maybe Frisky Business?)

This is Jim after testing his mountain trail skills at Kanuga, near Hendersonville, NC, summer, 2003.
