James was a simple man who had a passion for everything in his life. He was devoted to his career in food service which he began after receiving his Bachelor's degree from Stephen F. Austin State University. He was a true SFA Lumberjack and supported his SFA family no matter the season. When James was not working, he very much enjoyed fishing.
