James McCall

My dad with a fish he caught

My hero is James McCall. Do you have someone that inspires you? I do, my father. He is very kind, caring, funny and can make anyone smile. He will be in the worst mood ever, and he will still tell jokes. He also acts like a kid, which comes in handy once in a while. Whenever I am hurt or sad, my dad will comfort me and make me smile.

My father, James McCall, was born in Billings, MT. He still lives there. He went to college at Carroll College in Helena, Montana. He then moved to Denver for about 7 years. He has two sisters, Kathy and Liz. His first job was working at the refinery. He dealt with oil and coal. He is the middle child of his family and the only boy. He now owns a fly fishing store called “Rainbow Run Fly Shop"

His passion is fishing. He absolutely loves it. If he is having the worst week of his life, the following weekend he will go fishing. If he isn't fishing, he is either working at his store or watching football. You could ask him any question about fishing and he automatically knows the answer. Another passion for Jim would have to be Football and Hockey. His favorite football team is the Denver Broncos. And his favorite hockey team is the Colorado Avalanche.

My father has personally inspired me by ALWAYS BEING HAPPY. He will keep his chin up for anything. If someone puts him down, he will come back up right away. Usually when someone insults me I let it sink in. My dad has taught me different. He also always knows the right thing to say. But the thing that inspires me the most would have to be his sense of humor. I got all of my humor and jokes from my dad. Everyone asks me why I am so crazy, and I simply reply, "You should see my dad!"

Overall my dad, James McCall is my hero. Once you meet him, you know you have met a special person. I love him and he will always inspire me.
