About Me
Jim Ogonowski is a farmer and small businessman from Dracut who recently retired as a lieutenant colonel after serving 28 years in the Air Force and Air National Guard. Jim first came to national attention on September 11, 2001 when the plane his brother was piloting was hijacked and flown into the World Trade Center. In the words of ABC News, Jim “stepped forward when others could only cry.”
After his brother’s death on 9/11, Jim came to the rescue of his brother’s family by working the farm and saving it from being sold.
Jim has two children, Charlie and Catherine, and lives in Dracut, Massachusetts with his wife Kathy.
