Executive Producer
As a photo editor, manager and producer for over 20 years at ESPN, Jim has directed and produced award-winning visuals for print and digital, running the gamut through photojournalism, portraiture, lifestyle, architecture, sports action, still life and video. Leading busy, deadline-driven teams, he brings passion and agility to storytelling, while fostering an atmosphere of collaboration. Undeterred by any subject matter, Surber has been body slammed by heavyweight Kimbo Slice, tasked with draping a huge snake over QB Alex Smith’s shoulders, and convinced burly pro hockey players to pose naked wearing fake beards outside on a windy day. He is based in Connecticut, by way of Indiana and New York, where he thoroughly enjoys collaborating with his wife, Sarah, and their 2 kids.
