Hi, I'm James. I was born in Austin, Texas, and joined the Air Force when I was twenty years old-shortly after 9/11. I retired from the Air Force in 2022, and during my active-duty time I completed a B.S. in Computer & information Science and an M.S. in Data Analytics.

After spending a short stint in the IT industry, I felt unsatisfied with my work, and I was looking for something more meaningful in life. In May of 2023, I applied to SPC for a full-time faculty position in CCIT. In August 2023, I began my initial journey as a teacher and at SPC.
