Michael D.

I was matched with James in USC's Alumni Association Society 53 as a mentor from the fall of 2012 thru the spring of 2013. James is an exceedingly active and accomplished young individual who aspires to many great goals. It has become apparent to me through our time together that James has shown a track record of success from high school through his career at USC in and out of the classroom. He has shown great skills for organization and communication that have enabled him to succeed in many different settings from sales to managing a group. The personable approach that James takes in his life and career will be a great asset to whatever endeavor he undertakes and whomever is lucky enough to have him as a part of their company.
