Jim Obergefell Biography

Jim Obergefell is one of the most popular and richest Real Estate Broker who was born on June 7, 1966 in Sandusky, Ohio, United States.

Obergefell graduated from Sandusky High School in 1984 and went on to attend the University of Cincinnati where he earned a degree in secondary education and German. He attended graduate school at Bowling Green State University. Out of college, he was a high school German teacher. After years of hiding his sexuality, finally, when he was in his mid-20s, he came out to his eldest sister. At the time, his mother was dead, but the rest of his family was not too surprised by his announcement. While his dad was not always supportive, he found a strong relationship with his Aunt Paulette.

Then, in 1992, at a bar near the University of Cincinnati, Obergefell met John Arthur, a man who soon, after several different interactions and a district and Supreme Court case, became his husband. Obergefell and Arthur became inseparable. They began dating, moved in together, worked in IT consulting and client relations management at several companies, and after years of being together, Arthur was diagnosed with ALS. Obergefell acted as Arthur’s caretaker for the rest of their relationship, helping his partner through every wave of the illness. By 2013, he became bed bound and Obergefell and Arthur decided to get married. Same-sex marriage was illegal in their home state of Ohio so in order to get married, they would have to go to another state. Close friends and family of the couple pooled together to rent a medically equipped plane for the couple to travel for their marriage. On June 11, 2013, the couple got an ambulance to escort Arthur to a private plane that flew Arthur, Obergefell, a nurse, and Arthur’s aunt, who performed the ceremony, to Baltimore, where the marriage was performed while the plane sat on the tarmac. After 22 years of being together, Arthur passed away on October 22, 2013.
