About James

James was born in Fontana, California, and has since lived in Michigan, Ohio, and Illinois before finally settling in Texas with his two dogs, Rocket and Venus. Although he remained true to his West Coast roots for many years, the Southwest eventually won him over as he began a long and ongoing career with Texas Tech University.

James received both his undergraduate and graduate degree from Texas Tech University, where he now teaches courses for media production, writing, and social science research. James also works as a Multimedia Specialist for the Marketing Department of the College of Media & Communication at TTU, hosting podcasts, writing stories, and making photo/video content.

No matter what tool is in his hand, James simply loves to tell stories. Whether it’s writing a book or directing a film, James finds great joy in exploring the depths of the human spirit, questioning the ways of the world, and pushing the boundaries of creativity—and he’s met so many wonderfully inspiring people along the way.

James is available for hire as a freelancer for any of your multimedia needs.
