Jim McCarthy

About the Agent

Jim McCarthy interned for Dystel, Goderich & Bourret while studying urban design at New York University. Upon graduating, Jim realized he would much rather continue working with books than make the jump (as he had originally intended) to the field of city planning. Twenty-odd years later, he remains at DG&B as a VP and senior agent.
