Bio
Wells Rawls
James is one of the best managers I have worked with so far. His vast knowledge of engineering and large earth projects was invaluable to me as the landscape designer at All Seasons Landscaping. His calm demeanor in the face of multiple pending disasters over the years was a source of strength for many others as well. I highly recommend James Oosting for any project.
