My Story

James-It was born from a simple idea: to help others and have fun doing it. I bring a strong Gen-X work ethic to everything I do, whether it's managing a complex software project or delivering a package across town. I love people, and I take pride in being reliable, distinct, and trustworthy.

I have been a software development manager for over 6 years and have worked in the IT industry for more than 20 years. Beyond tech, my background is diverse, with experience in:

  • Delivery Services
  • Retail Management
