Bio
Ryan K.
James has a unique ability to make wishes come to fruition. Need a report back in less than 5 minutes? James. Need someone to dig in and find something interesting in the contract requirements? James. Need help content drafted with a quick turnaround? James. Need someone in the trenches with you when the whole place seems like it is about to crumble? James. James's special power is research. While that may not seem super special at first, it's the speed and quality of what he finds that makes dreams come true. For example, when I was extra busy and knew there needed to be some digging that would take me a while, I'd ask if James could work on it so I could move on to different things. That brings me to another point. James is always willing and ready to help, especially when the heat is on to get something knocked out. James spent many evenings with the training team working late to get something completed on time. James has a habit of not missing a deadline. Another thing I really like about James is he doesn’t forget very much. By that, I mean if he says he is going to do something, it will be done, and I never had to check and see how the progress was coming along. I just always knew it would be done. Lastly, James is a team player. I know for a fact that he and the other team members had an amazing working relationship. The connected, helped each other, and brought a level of comradery that I’ve never seen before.
