About Me:

“This is the true joy in life, being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one.”

-- George Bernard Shaw

I’ve always loved that quote, because it says just what I feel. Although raised in a mili- tary family, I took to business early. Fascinated with how much I could accomplish - not only for myself but many others as well - I spent all my time on practical ways to turn commercial dreams into profitable reality. While some might see this as extreme or one- sided, I never did! But neither my clients nor I ever regretted my single-mindedness, nor my whole-hearted dedication to financial success.

My first serious ventures were in the wholesale jewelry trade. Impressed by my accom- plishments, several organizations asked that I create their sales training curricula. From there, my interests and activities rapidly expanded into real estate and construction. The more I learned and did, the more I was able to refine my approach into remarkably prof- itable enterprise strategies - strategies that others could also follow. Ten years after I received the Spectrum Design Award in 1997, the home-building industry honored me with the McSam Award.

Executive stints at KB Home, Choice Homes, and Parkway Homes proved highly pro- ductive. But I felt they were only a prelude to the ultimate step: I wanted to permanently lay aside the corporate security blanket and become a dedicated entrepreneur. Today, I still feel the excitement I felt then at the prospect of finally taking full ownership of my financial life.

Today, I own a number of thriving firms devoted to marketing, consulting, and debt set- tlement. Presently, I’m completing a useful - and much needed - book on the last topic. Debt settlement, despite its popularity, needlessly baffles and obstructs many otherwise savvy people. Given my track record, I’m confident that my volume will quickly turn stumbling-blocks into profitable venues for readers at every income level.

Living and working in the Dallas metro area brings me daily close contact with people from every walk of life and financial status. I passionately believe I have something of real value to offer so many of them. We all understand that the business of America is business. I have focused the force of my life toward acquiring the knowledge and skills reliably paving the way to commercial success. Such results can happen no matter what the underlying business environment. For me, nothing beats seeing the happiness my clients and students enjoy. Knowing that I have enabled their long-term security and comfort brings me profound satisfaction and makes my life worthwhile. Serving my community this way has been my sole duty and love from childhood on. Could anyone ask for more?

Testimonials

"2 years ago we were looking for a home in the DFW area, moving from New Orleans. We had three different real estate agents from three different real estate agencies that we tried to work with, but were extremely disappointed in their lack of ability to understand what we were looking for in a "neighborhood" to move to. Finally, a friend of ours suggested James. It took less then one week for James to show us the "ideal" neighborhood in McKinney and house that we ended up purchasing. Most importantly, though, James never treated us like a "transaction", but more as a "friend"; that we had known for a long time. In fact, after we moved in to the house, James would reach out with a phone call or email just to say hello; he would reach out to make sure we were all okay! James truly is a great person to work with when you need a "friend" to help you in the real estate area. Oh yes, we are now looking to find a new home in McKinney and James was the only person we called to help us!"
