Jim Derrick is the Manager/Player on the 20ID team. He has been with 20ID for about 3 years now, but has been playing PC games since King's Quest 1 on a Tandy 1000. Jim really started to get into the competitive scene of video games with some of the larger team-based FPS games, and has been competing at the top (or slightly below it) ever since. Besides gaming, Jim also plays the trombone and moonlights doing voiceover work for different companies. He spend a lot of his spare time playing video games (poorly?), playing with his dog, and hanging out with his significant other.
