Jim Erhardt has been an active member of the Grapevine community since 1977 when he joined 3M Company to lead their business development efforts with GTE/Verizon. For over 30 years, Jim worked collaboratively with his clients to build the city’s communications infrastructure, where many of the products he sold are still visible from the streets of Grapevine. After retiring from 3M, Jim formed Olive Branch Services where he continues to make positive impacts on his customers’ business by providing them tools that improve the health of their business and employees while leveraging his passion for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM). Jim is an active member of the Grapevine Chamber of Commerce where he serves as an Ambassador, is a Leadership Grapevine Graduate, community volunteer and works to support the economic growth of our local businesses. Jim and his wife Donna enjoy supporting Grapevine businesses, traveling, spending time with family and spoiling their six grandchildren.
