James earned a master's degree in Business Administration (MBA) and held a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from Fenn College of Engineering. He made many valuable contributions to NASA, military guidance systems, and national defense. He was a Lt. Col. with Ohio Civil Air Patrol for over 30 years. A licensed pilot since 1983, he truly had a passion to fly.

He loved to travel. He visited 26 countries, some twice, including China, Japan, Europe, India, and Brazil. Fascinated with world cultures and Egypt – though he never got to visit. He was an avid reader. He often read Clancy, Green, or Grisham novels a dozen times or more. His scrapbooks are incredible with meticulous notes for almost every photograph he captured around the world. Organizations: IEEE, Commander's Call, & 107th Armored Cavalry Association.
