About Jim Hrubik |
|
|
Jim Hrubik
is a 62 year old State Certified Real Estate Appraiser who was born in
Akron and grew up in Copley. Currently residing in Norton, he and
his wife of 38 years, Violet, have passed on to their seven children and
eight grandchildren the ideals of honesty, loyalty, and sacrifice for
the sake of principle. With both BA and MA degrees in Secondary
Education from the University of Akron, his classroom experience as a
teacher of science and math began in Grafton, in Lorain County.
His instructional skills were broadened when he worked for three years
in a cross-cultural environment at a remote Native American school in
northern Canada. |

Jim's final
five years in secondary education were spent as an educational
supervisor in a parochial school. As an adult educator, he has
taught college level appraisal courses and served as a continuing
education auditor for the Akron Area Board of Realtors. Firmly believing
that parents have the ultimate responsibility and rights regarding their
childrens' education, he has been a proponent of funding education
through vouchers in the form of scholarships usable in either public or
private educational settings. Jim sees the pinnacle of educational
professionalism as the educator in private practice, in the same way
other professions are structured. After leaving the formal
education field, Jim obtained his Ohio Real Estate Sales license, which
he maintains to this day. |

In 1986 he
started a residential construction company, employing and meeting
payroll for up to a dozen workers, which he owned and managed until 1997
when he passed the company on to others. In 1998, after over a
decade of study and appraisal practice, Jim took the State exam and
became certified as a residential appraiser. He is currently
working on and accumulating non-residential experience toward general
appraisal certification. Jim's background in these areas has
provided Jim with an understanding of the issues and challenges faced by
entrepreneurs under a government system which has become increasingly
hostile to the very people who provide the engine of growth for our
economy. |
