In my own words
— JamesA passionate creator of awesome things.
I Produce, edit, and animate. I'm totally head over heels in love with creating engaging stories that make people happy. I grew up skating and got sponsored for snowboarding at 17. I flamed out at 24 after getting broken off on a handrail while filming my video part. That led me to my other love... video. After USC film school, I started working on amazing projects that have provided me with a nice career, making awesome things.
