After emigrating to Canada, Reeves joined the Professional Engineers of Ontario and completed his MBA at York University. After working for several years in the computer industry for IBM, Jim became a Canadian Tire dealer running his own retail business in Sutton. Here, he learned the importance of balancing expenses with growth to achieve a sustainable, strong and successful business that benefited the customers, staff and the greater community. In addition to managing his business over the years, Reeves has served on several industry associations.
