James's Story
Life
After high school i went straight into the work force. I landed a job with Hughes Tool Co as a machinist and worked there until 1980. I met my wife Carla at church and were married in September that year. Her father owned his own automotive parts business and went to work in the family business in Baytown, Tx. It was really great, we worked together and things were good. Well...for about 5 years...you know what you have always heard about family businesses?...well it's true. My father in law and i just could not work together any longer. So i looked for something new about the same time our first child Sophie...Expand for more
came along and i found a job with a good friend of mine in the Fire Protection Equipment Business. So in 1987 i started a new career in fire protection and enjoyed it so much i finally took the big leap and started my own business in Houston in 2000 and proud to say it's doing very well. We had another child Jeff in 1987 and stopped there...us 4 and no more. My daughter is to finish college this year and engaged to be married in July. My son graduates high school this year and plans to attend college. As for me and mama...we plan to enjoy a few well deserved nights alone...well until the grand kids start coming.
