Jim Kastama

Jim kastama came into our class to talk about a variety of things. He started off with some of his political experience being a Senator in Washington State. He was the type of person that instead of just dealing with party lines, he would do what was best for the people that the bill effected. This lead him to be liked and disliked by both parties, as they could not just count on him to go with there views. 

He then went on to talk about his after politics life. And how he has found out that he really doesn't like having a boss and working for somebody. So he went out on his own. With that he has found a new career in strategic planning. He now is hired by companies to help them pave the future for the company. This includes goals that the company wants to meet and a few ways on how to get there. 

It was also interesting to hear him talk and to finally see him. As my mom went to school with him, I have heared her talk about him a bit. This has included him running for school president or ASB president, which is not a big stretch to being in politics when he grew up. (or at least got out of high school) It was cool to finally meet him as i have heard a bunch about him and some of the things he has done over the years and finally put a face to the name.
