James's Story
Life
I graduated from High School and began attending the University of Kentucky on an Air Force ROTC Scholarship. Mid-way through my Freshman year my Dad was shot and killed. I dropped out of school for a while. Got married. Had 2 sons and then decided to go back to school. I was accepted in to Duke University where I graduated in 1987 with a degree in Economics. I did Pediatric Endocrinology Research work while a student at Duke. During my Senior year I was offered a full time position with GTE (now Verizon) in their IT department. I moved into their Sales Engineering department...Expand for more
a few years later. I left in 1996 to start my own ISP and Telephony company which I sold in 2003. I was offered another position in Sales Engineering with Verizon in 2004. Verizon offered to allow me to get my MBA through the University of South Florida's Executive MBA program from which I graduated in 2006.
During the last 30 years, I have moved from Memphis, TN to Buffalo, NY; to Durham, NC (for 21 years); to Tampa, FL (4 years); and I now reside (wife and one son still live in Tampa) in Atlanta, GA.
Currently working on a couple of business plans for new businesses to start up.
