We met Jim and his family in 1999 when we both moved to the Herricks community and have come to know the Gounaris family quite well over the years.

Jim is deeply passionate about the community and always willing to lend his time to better our children’s lives – educationally or otherwise.

His work ethic is truly inspirational as he not only runs a prospering business but manages to participate in his kids’ athletics, the PTA and Jim teaches Sunday religious school all while being a great father/husband.

We strongly feel that the Herricks School Board needs a fresh voice like Jim’s to steer Herricks to great heights in the years ahead.
