James's Story
Where I've been? That would take more than a few lines of text. Suffice it to say that I have lived, for an extended period of time, in more than half of all the major cities in the US. Why, is a story in and of itself. Like many people I didn't work in the profession my graduate degree prepared me for. I chose the most lucrative profession I knew at the time; sales. And there I stayed until I retired a few years ago. I did get to be a classroom teacher for three years here in Irving. My how things have changed since Cary Junior High! I should have collected hazardous duty pay!
After giving Uncle Sam four years of my life, I came back to Dallas and finished my degree, getting my M.S. in 1975. Tried marriage for 7 years; didn't work! Went on the road for almost 9 year...Expand for more
s as a professional speaker, working with people like Zig Ziglar, Tom Hopkins, Jim Rohn, Tony Robbins, Terry Bradshaw, and many others. Stopped in Pennsylvania for about 7 years to enjoy a long, but unsuccessful engagement (marriage), only to end up back in Dallas. Tried marriage again; didn't work, again! Have since taken up several hobbies, including drawing, and most recently, the cello. Now, I play the cello, read voraciously, and watch TV, very selectively! Beginning in August, I will be working as a volunteer for an organization called Contact; more specifically Crisis Hotline, based near Walnut Hill Ln. and Central Expwy.
The picture attached to my profile is about 7 years old. I still look almost exactly the same today. A few more wrinkles, and some gray hair.
