I've had the opportunity to work closely with James at two different organizations now, collaborating on countless development projects. He is a go-getter, a man of action. He is great at seeing the big picture and bringing creative insights to every role I've seen him in. He has been integral to strategic growth at both SilencerCo and Gunwerks, and I would highly recommend him to any leadership position within an organization of any size.

I highly recommend James, he was a great part of the executive team at SilencerCo. He has a great work ethic, and is very intelligent in many areas such as lean manufacturing, leadership, and strategy. He will be a great addition to any company that is looking for a dedicated, smart, ambitious leader.
