James Cassidy (also known as Jim Cassidy and Jim Kazmeyer) an American musician and educator who is one of the founding members of the band Information Society (InSoc). He played bass and keyboards with the band from its beginning in the early 1980s until 1992, when the group released its final album as a trio: "Peace & Love, Inc."

After the band dissolved, Cassidy left the music business and enrolled in Mt. Hood Community College (MHCC), in Gresham, Oregon, earning an associate's degree in fisheries technology. He attended MHCC for two more years before transferring to Portland State University and then to Oregon State University (OSU), where he earned a bachelor's degree in fisheries science and a master's degree in crop and soil science.
