I had woods in my backyard, which is where I spent most of my time as a kid. I skateboarded. I was heavy into chorus." While attending Hackettstown High School, he took a drama class that "didn't quite make sense to [him]," then he became more involved with theatre at Pennsylvania's Bloomsburg University. Jimmi earned a Bachelor of Arts in theatre, then he spent four seasons performing at the Williamstown Theatre Festival in Massachusetts.
