James is organized, professional and always delivered what was requested. In fact, he goes beyond this to make sure there are no loose ends. He has also been extremely responsive to my questions and has helped solve any problems that I have had. Problems have been very limited due to James’s ability to follow through and pay attention to detail which is very important in his position. He has also done this in a professional manner as well as with humor. I have enjoyed working with him immensely. I would recommend him to work with anyone. You would be lucky to have him work with you!
