If you want to work with someone who will exceed expectations and leave your organization a better place than he found it, James is your guy. He has an entrepreneurial spirit intertwined in deep technical knowledge that pushes teams to view problems and solutions otherwise unseen. I worked with James in a large scale customer integration project and his organization skills, metrics creation/management, and leadership were a huge asset in pushing towards completion. James has earned my deep respect and he’ll earn yours too.

I had an opportunity to interact with James in his position as a Disaster Program Manager for the American Red Cross. I have found James to be extremely knowledgeable about emergency preparedness, project management and community outreach. He is also professional and articulate. During one of the meetings that we both attended, James always articulated his position, but also, he asked open ended questions to generate input from others. He always arrived on time to get to know meeting participants. Any company will benefit from James’ professionalism, the ability to network and build community relationships, and last but not least, his project management skills.
