Jim DeCicco was born in Somerset, New Jersey, to Italian American parents who were professional educators. In the mid eighties, Jim was conducting experimental electronic music recitals and coding in Pascal while enrolled at Ithaca College in upstate New York. It was also during this time spent at Cayuga Lake that Jim began his journey in the field of psychology and philosophy, studying the works of Wayne Dyer and later Deepak Chopra. Jim's Hollywood tenure landed him acting roles and executive producer titles of one of a kind events such as an orchestral performance at the Whisky a go-go on Sunset Blvd. Jim continued to immerse himself deeper into personal achievement by completing Anthony Robbins Mastery University and adding studies in Neuro Linguistic Programming to his roster. His first book, "The Power of Passive Income," serves as a primer for success in the new economy and is a companion for his personal growth seminars and retreats.
