Born in April of 1996, James grew up in the Bay Area of California. After graduating from California Polytechnic University of San Luis Obispo in June 2018, he moved to Baltimore, Maryland to begin a year of service with AmeriCorps. During the service year, his project's focus will be on recruiting Baltimore community members to work on projects around the Carrie Murray Nature Center at Gwynns Falls Leakin Park. As locals come in for specified projects, James will provide training and then dispatch groups to work sites around the park. Due to Gwynns Falls Park's unique integration with Baltimore's urban environment, its main goal is to provide a safe, welcoming, and nurturing space for all individuals in the surrounding counties.

James plans on spending his professional career motivating communities all over the world to adopt more environmentally-conscious lifestyles. From minimizing material waste, transitioning to plant-based diets, and using renewable energy sources to power our transportation and daily lives, he wants to be a catalyst for sustainable change. The fundamental drive that motivates James is the promotion of social, economical, and environmental equality for all living beings on the planet.
