James was born and raised in Deerfield Beach, Florida.

After completing his first master’s degree, he moved to Michigan, where he served at a church for four years before accepting his current role.
James’ passion centers around two aspects of calling: first seeing people live out their primary calling of having a passionate relationship with the Lord and secondary calling to understand their gifting, and design for vocation.
