James began his career at a local children\u2019s hospital, with the intention of pursuing a master\u2019s degree in hospital administration. Call it chance or fate, when a friend presented an opportunity for him to work in economic development with the Chamber of Commerce in Leadville, Colorado, it changed his course and began his nearly 30-year career in economic development. Following, James worked in various executive leadership capacities for economic development organizations in Cobb County and Tift County, Georgia and Clarksville, Tennessee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Upon joining the South Carolina Power Team in the fall of 2013, James ventured out to personally meet with more than 130 stakeholders within his first 100 days. From these one-on-one conversations emerged the framework for the South Carolina Power Team Strategic Blueprint, which provided resources to make South Carolina\u2019s electric cooperatives an essential partner for growth and development. With James at the helm, backed by a fully supportive board, a Strategic Blueprint was adopted in January 2014. Essential to the overall growth and future of the organization, James is charged with the strategy\u2019s implementation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since adopting the Strategic Blueprint, the electric cooperatives have played a key role in the attraction of $15.3 billion in capital investment and 41,981 jobs to South Carolina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>James is an avid fisherman of both fresh and salt water. He is also a committed road and gravel cyclist and has a passion for ultra-endurance events. James, along with 22 other cyclists, completed a 640-mile ride in seven days in an effort to raise awareness about heart disease and stroke with electric cooperative employees. James lives in Columbia, South Carolina with his wife, Stevie. Together, they have four adult children and three grandchildren. He and his wife love cooking, street food and travel.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-teal-color has-text-color\" id=\"about-james\"><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-large is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>\u201cEl establecimiento de una nueva industria que trae mejores oportunidades de trabajo, <\/em><br><em>para muchos, puede significar que un miembro de la familia tenga su primer bien pagado <\/em><br><em>trabajo.&quot;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull has-white-color has-dark-blue-background-color has-text-color has-background is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"personal-facts\">Datos Personales<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-teal-color has-text-color\" id=\"things-other-people-say-about-james\">Cosas que otras personas dicen sobre James<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>es atractivo, divertido y tiene cierto carisma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-teal-color has-text-color\" id=\"james-loves\">James ama...<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>su familia y la oportunidad que le ha brindado su profesi\u00f3n de servir a las comunidades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-teal-color has-text-color\" id=\"his-most-precious-time-is-spent\">Su tiempo m\u00e1s preciado lo dedica...<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>pasar tiempo con su esposa y amigos, andar en bicicleta y cocinar.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-teal-color has-text-color\" id=\"interesting-facts\">Datos interesantes\u2026<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sus h\u00e9roes culinarios son Anthony Bourdain y Andrew Zimmern: cuando James viaja, no hay nada que disfrute m\u00e1s que caminar por las calles y comer comida callejera local.
