Some of his projects involve wrestling. His firm represents wrestlers Rulon Gardner, Jake Herbert and Jordan Burroughs.
It serves as consultant for the National
Wrestling Hall of Fame on its Beyond the Walls capital campaign.
The firm has also worked on USA
Wrestling sponsorship and sales projects. Now in private business, Scherr is still able to attend wrestling events but in a much different role than when he was an athlete, USA Wrestling’s Executive Director or the CEO of the USOC. “I have a lot more fun now. I relax, watch wrestling and catch up with old friends. Watching wrestling is great, but the best part is seeing those people you knew as you grew up with the sport,” said
Jim Scherr won World silver and bronze medals in freestyle, and placed fifth in the 1988 Olympic Games. He won an NCAA title for Nebraska.
Scherr Wrestling continues to make an impact on his life. “Wrestling was a significantly important factor in my development as a person throughout my life. It was the foundation which I built upon. The work ethic and
personal development have been critical to what I’ve accomplished. I’ve learned about myself, how to work with others and how to achieve things, to get the job done. I got opportunities I would never have dreamed of having through wrestling.”
