As a southwest native, James has traveled the US working for theaters, nonprofit organizations, small businesses, and as a freelance designer, developer, and photographer.
After spending time in New York, Seattle, Colorado, and North Carolina, James decided to come back to the southwest and make Santa Fe his home. He spends his time as an avid outdoorsman and enjoys Santa Fe for the easy access to hiking, camping, and nature. In his spare time, he likes to build motorcycles, eat good food, and play with his dog, Rigby (Rig-dizzle for short).

Rigby has lived and played across the country, gaining skills as a moral officer in workplaces both large and small. While working as a message delivery dog at Flat Rock Playhouse, she learned many valuable lessons such as “Shake,” “Stay,” “Find-it,” and her favorite word, “Go.” At the young age of 2 (14 in dog years) she became an ambassador for dog rights when she discovered that dogs don’t have social security numbers and that cats are often allowed on the furniture, while dogs are not. She’s bursting with enthusiasm to be working at Mindshare Labradors.
