Jim Grew up on a farm in northern New York State and graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point in 1980 with a BS in Chemical Engineering. He was commissioned as an officer in the United States Army and served with the Armored Cavalry branch of Combat Arms, where he held various command and staff positions at both Troop and Squadron levels. Jim Resigned from his active duty commission and then went into the Reserves until I was discharged in 1989.
Jim worked as a major account executive in the manufacturing, retail, and healthcare sectors for several large IT outsourcing companies and retired in 2014. Upon retirement, Jim founded and became the director of the Cherokee County Homeless Veterans Program, where we celebrated our 10th anniversary on Veterans Day 2024.
We are actively engaged in building a Transitional Veterans Shelter in Cherokee County that will serve Veterans across North Ga. We are also involved in several Veteran mental health initiatives that target Homeless and non-homeless Veterans with mental health issues.
The Georgia Veterans Network is honored to recognize Jim Lindenmayer as an inaugural Heart for Georgia Veterans award recipient.
Jim is married to my loving and supportive wife, Margo, of 38 years.
