James C. (Jim) Wofford was born and raised on a horse farm in Milford, Kansas. He is a graduate of the Culver Military Academy and the School of Business at the University of Colorado. Wofford, a three-time Olympian, has spent his life with horses, and is one of the best-known Eventing trainers in the world today. A member of both the United States Eventing Association and the Culver Military Academy Hall of Fame, Wofford trains at his farm in Upperville, Virginia, and travels extensively teaching and giving clinics.
Widely sought after as a clinician and coach, Wofford is equally well known as an author. He is the author of three acclaimed titles, Training the 3-Day Event Horse and Rider, Gymanstics: Systematic Training of the Jumping Horse, and 101 Tips on Eventing.
Beginning with the 1972 Olympics, Wofford has served as the color commentator for many national and international broadcasts. His most recent commentaries were during the NBC coverage of the 2006 World Equestrian Games in Aachen, Germany and the 2006 NBC Rolex Championship.

Take a Good Look Around depicts the life of a truly unique individual...these stories are must reads for those who crave good-old, rustic Americana at its best.
— Jeffrey Chamberlin; The Sport Journal
Take a Good Look Around is always interesting, usually funny, often provocative, and occasionally poignant. Wofford is a genuine American original.
