James' Life Change
It would be hypocritical to acknowledge achievements and sponsors without revealing the God took me away from street gangs, drugs and alcohol to a college education, excellence in the workplace, and a beautiful faith-filled wife. I can not articulate the satisfaction and joy I have every day now.

If you’ve never experienced God for yourself, you should take a moment and ask Jesus to forgive you sins, wash away your brokenness, and give you a new life.  Feel free to contact me anytime.
