James "Jamie" Dimon was born in New York City, to Theodore and Themis Dimon, of Greek descent and attended Browning School. He has an older brother, Peter, and a fraternal twin brother, Ted. Dimon's father and grandfather were both stockbrokers at Shearson.
He majored in psychology and economics at Tufts University. During one summer at Tufts, he worked at Shearson. After graduating, he worked in management consulting for two years before joining Harvard Business School along with classmates Jeffrey Immelt, Steve Burke and Seth Klarman. During his summer at Harvard, he worked at Goldman Sachs. He graduated in 1982, earning a Master of Business Administration degree as a Baker Scholar. Upon graduating, Sandy Weill convinced him to turn down offers from Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and Lehman Brothers to join him as an assistant at American Express. Although Weill could not offer the same amount of money as the investment banks, Weill promised Dimon that he would have "fun". Dimon's father, Theodore Dimon, was an executive vice president at American Express. The younger Dimon came to Weill's attention when Theodore passed along an essay that Jamie had written.
