James's Story
I grew up in Toronto Canada until the age of 13 when we moved to San Jose California (1981). I attended Independence High School, where I focused on Art, Computers and cutting school :) I would like to ramble on about school, but honestly it was not my thing, I was bored, unchallenged and too nice for my own good. At 16, all that changed, I got more interested in working and making good money after school hours, that was pretty much the spark that ended my interest in school.
I quit shortly into Senior year, got my GED and tried various things like sales, security, stand-up comedy (did very well at it too), but eventually at age 23 tried my hand at my what I truly had pas...Expand for more
sion for- creating Video Games! I turned that into a very successful career, working on many well know games and still going 24+ years later.
In my personal life, I have had equal success and trials. Divorced once (but still friends), married again and have 5 kids total (2 boys, 3 girls ages ranging from 4 up to 25). I have lived in Northern CA, Southern CA, Chandler AZ, Austin TX and now Woodinville Wa.
I am lucky to have a wonderful family and an outlook that is always set toward the future. I barely remember school, while it was not a highlight for me, it definitely helped create the foundation I needed to go out and take the risks to get where I am today.
