A Life Shaped by Calling

James's journey began on the front lines of care — as a Senior Technician at BayCare HomeCare — and grew through years of placing life-changing medical equipment with patients across Florida, working with nationally recognized organizations including Air Products Healthcare, Sunrise Medical, and DeVilbiss Healthcare.

"Serving your Government, Business, or Community Organization for a greater purpose."

One of the most defining chapters of James's life is his experience as a living kidney donor — a deeply personal act of sacrifice he now uses to disciple others in listening, living sacrificially, loving, and responding to God's precise direction in their walk of faith.

In 2019, James helped coordinate the Truth At Work Conference alongside Tim Couet, hosting Dr. Voddie Baucham for a two-day event focused on leadership, marriage, faith, and accountability.
