James A. Maddox

Jim was born in Denver, Colorado but grew up in Bosque Farms, New Mexico. The 4H was a major part of his life as animals, plants and trees have always been of interest. Jim developed a rural area watering system to keep juvenile trees, shrubs and even gardens alive in remote areas without access to well water! He is known as the “Sourdough Mechanic” for his State Fair winning bread recipe and has been active with Tree New Mexico and a member of the Board of Directors since 1993.
