Jim Finch is an accomplished writer, social media specialist and community manager.

He started his first newsletter, "The Ring Report TV Update" at age 15 after moving to Maryland at the height of Pro Wrestling's popularity in the 1980's. He later revived that newsletter in 1993 when he joined the on-line world and syndicated it on CompuServe, Prodigy and AOL and eventually achieved a subscriber base for the newsletter that was too big for their e-mail systems to handle.

His work on the newsletter did not go unnoticed and he was offered the role of lead volunteer in charge of the Grandstand Sports on AOL's Pro Wrestling area. During his time in the role he lead a team of volunteers and established relationships with stars from both Extreme Championship Wrestling and World Championship Wrestling and clearly established his area's chats and message boards as the place where fans could come and interact with their heroes from the sport.

He also designed and developed Extreme Championship Wrestling Online, Pennsylvania Championship Wrestling, Matside for the Super 25, the Wrestling Chatterbox and Johnny B. Badd.

In the late 1990s, Jim was hired by AOL Sports where he managed both employees and volunteers in such diverse areas as Pro Basketball, College Football, Bowling, Cheerleading and Pro Wrestling. During his time at AOL he lead the first team to actively engage a policy for hyperlinks, built some 23 web-based community centers for AOL's Hometown project and developed and maintained keyword Kobe Bryant, which had over two million visitors in a single month during his trial.

Jim established ReallyCoolSite.org in 2001, a non-profit outlet for his many side projects and ideas. From 2001-2005 it was the largest TechTV fansite on the internet and featured over 500 parody comic strips based on real-life personalities from the network. It also gave him the first chance to blog, establishing "Ratfarts!" the same year, which he's kept up with (barring server problems) to this day.

Jim's work expanded to full length comics and animation in 2008 and his comics have a growing fan base which he promotes through various social media outlets.

Jim lives in Cogan Station, PA, and can be found working from home around the clock. You can contact him at JLIB_HTML_CLOAKING .
