James's Story
Life
Hello, thanks for taking the time to read this Bio. I was in the second grad class of Rayburn. My sister Lynn Ballweg, unfortunately, no longer with us, was in the Rayburn first Grad class. I was a DECA Student, was in class only 4 periods a day and worked at Pasadena Sporting Good for almost three years. I left Texas and was in Spain for two years and traveled Europe during that time. I joined the United States Air Force at Torrejon Air Base just outside Madrid, Spain. After Viet Nam I returned to the US and finished my BA and went back to England a attained my MBA and onto my PHD. I live in Florida, have a home in San Antonio, Houston, Shreveport and an office in Zurich, Switzerland. I am now Semi Retired and still have holdings in Corporate America. I am CFO of an Oil Drilling Company and hold interest in a Sports and Entertainment Company.
I enjoy travel, love Las Vegas and playing Golf anytime I get the chance. I am single/divorced and have one fantastic Son and a beautiful Daughter in law, with two great grandchildren. Life has been very full for me, I have lived every minute as if it were the last and would not change any part of it (good or troublesome) for love or money.. just love life and god its great to be alive.
