James brings a wealth of experience, leadership, and dedication to his role as a Sales Agent with Taylor-Made Real Estate. Originally from the scenic Ozark Mountains of Northwest Arkansas, James developed a lifelong love for the outdoors—canoeing, camping, and enjoying time on the lake. After a distinguished 35-year career with the Department of the Army, James retired as a Senior Program Manager known for delivering results in strategic planning, business operations, and resilience programs that supported military personnel and their families.

His transition from national service to real estate reflects his passion for helping others and his commitment to excellence. In 2022, James and his family made Garrett County their home, drawn by its natural beauty and vibrant lifestyle. He and his wife, Leah—whom he met while working in Japan—have two college-aged children and enjoy skiing, hiking, golfing, and relaxing around their fire pit.

James and his wife will call this region home for the rest of their years. James’s approachable personality, superior follow-up and expert negotiating skills provide clients with the highest quality service. With deep experience in managing complex operations and a warm, client-focused approach, James is excited to help buyers and sellers navigate their real estate journey with confidence and care.
