James's Story

Texan to the core. I have a devoted spouse, Jon A. Acuna Miller and a wonderful daughter, Bethany. My schools include: Johnston High School, Axia College of UoP and am a graduate of Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts, Austin, Tx. This is a major career change for me and has been long overdue. Past schools include: University of Phoenix Axia Online (AAS in Business Management), Austin Community College (Commercial Art). I've previously worked at Pacific Shore Stones as Accounts Payable and HR Liaison and have worked at Crate and Barrel as a Night Manager. At present, I'm working as a line cook to build experience in the industry. My interests include: Food & Wine, SciFi/Action movies, fantasy books... I would enjoy learning to sew, make quilts and even play the guitar. Music he likes include: Most popular music but especially smooth jazz - Boney James, Acoustic Alchemy, Jeff Kashiwa, Nahjee, Michael Franks, Basia, Jamiroquai (British acid jazz), the list goes on and on... Books he likes include Mageborn Trilogy by Michael Manning, , Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark Hunter Series, David Eddings, Melanie Rawn, the list goes on and on... Movies he likes include: Heck... I like ALL kinds of movies from Action to SciFi to Animation. TV shows he likes include: The Chew, Saturday Morning Cartoons, NCIS, Law & Order, Bones, The Chew, Falling Skies, True Blood, Two Broke Girls... did I mention The Chew? The list goes on and on... One of my many favorite quotes includ...Expand for more
e: There many quotes that pertain to various aspects of life... the highs and lows, good and bad, etc. How can one choose a favorite? More about me: I'm sure many may have suspected what I chose not to see and accept in my early life but I've come to be comfortable with myself and let go of a self loathing fed by society's hate of homosexuality. I'm happy now and for the what it's worth, that's all that counts. My partner, Jon & I hit our 8 year anniversary on December 1, 2012. I couldn't ask for a better partner, friend and soulmate. I was born in Charleston, S. Carolina but raised in Austin, Texas. I've had an interesting life. Somewhat quite and shy throughout my school years, it took the military (USMC) to open me up and push me to start experiencing life. It's taken a long time for me to come to grips with who I truly am but after many many years, I'm now the happiest I've ever been. I've been in sales, customer service and financial pretty much my entire adult life. I love working with people. Anyone that knows me can vouch for that. My true passion is food so in 2013, I made a conscious decision to change careers and attend culinary school. Nothing like starting at the bottom and clawing your way back up to make you realize how old you are. <grin> I have a wonderful daughter and although she's had to deal with some serious illnesses, I'm very proud of how she's grown into an intelligent young woman. (but we still have a little way to go... <grin>)
