Bio

James was born and raised in Ocala, Florida where he attended St. John Lutheran School from K-3 to 12th grade. After attending a community college for a year, he missed the family atmosphere of Lutheran education and decided to attend Concordia University Wisconsin. In December of 2010 he received a Bachelor’s Degree in Physical and Health Education. He currently teaches physical education, health, fifth grade computers, religion, study skills and oversees foreign language education. It is important to James that he fosters a love of athletics with a Christian environment through good sportsmanship and being supportive and encouraging of one another.

James enjoys spending time doing outdoor activities with his wife Jessica and their two daughters Makenna and Ensley. Together they enjoy camping, hiking and taking their dog on daily walks. James’ other favorite activities include watching and participating in sports, working out, playing guitar for the contemporary church band, listening to music, riding bicycles, and spending time with friends. James values spending time with his In-Laws Teresa and Dan, visits to Florida to see his mother Drea and his father Bob as well as spending time with his brother Thomas and brother-in-law Timothy.
