Move your positive potential forward and create a fulfilling life above and beyond what you believe is possible.

Reflecting on a life filled with varied experiences, coupled with advanced education, James was inspired to become an speaker and author. His recent book "Slaughterhouse Rules" is an inspirational memoir about one man's inspiring story that entails grit and self-actualization.

From the age of 12, James worked on his family's farm in rural Illinois. He spent most of his days performing tough physical labor as he helped harvest each year's yield of soybeans and corn. After 13 years of rural living, which included 6 years working as a slaughterhouse laborer, James decided to leave and join the Navy. In the six years that followed, he refined his leadership style and, informed by his earlier experiences on the farm, developed a set of core rules that he lives his life by: accountability, integrity, resilience, respect, and trust. These values are the foundation for his keynote speaking derived from his memoir-based inspirational book - Slaughterhouse Rules. More broadly, they were and continue to be the foundation for how James conducts himself in his personal and professional life.

James' keynote speach takes the audience on a journey that touches their hearts, invigorates inner potential, and enlightens the spirit. Above and beyond being a speaker and author, James is a business entrepreneur, cybersecurity professional, SAG/AFTRA actor, US Navy Veteran, and most importantly a keystone for his family.
