A native of Van Buren, he moved his family to Pinole, Calif., in 1957, beginning a diversion from generations of farmers to a long and prosperous venture in the structural steel and miscellaneous iron business. It was his desire to provide a “better life” for his wife and two children and saw California as the place of “opportunity.” A veteran of W.W.II, he served in the South Pacific in the Navy Sea Bees, building airstrips and using his leadership abilities in agriculture. He was a Mason in Lodge No. 6 in Van Buren of which he was very proud to be a member. He accepted the Lord as his personal savior when he was 27 years old.

His more quiet times were spent reading books by Louis L’amour, and of course being a devout “conservative” on such subjects as Ronald Regan, Bob Dole and George Bush Sr. His hero was Harry Truman and he often told the story of how President Truman “even took the pens out of his pocket” when he left the White House because he said “I came here with nothing and I leave with nothing.” Character was a very important virtue to James.
