James's Story
Life
Live in Mobile, AL. Married with 4 children. Have 2 granddaughters and 1 grandson living in Mobile, 2 granddaughters living in Gulfport, Mississippi, 1 granddaughter & 1 grandson living in Fort Walton Beach, FL and 1 grandson & 2 granddaughters and 1 great grandson living in Atlanta, GA. I enjoy time with my wife, children & grandchildren especially the ones who live out of town. I enjoy reading, fishing and playing golf when I get a chance. I also work out and currently I am training to run a marathon on October 31, 2010 in Washington, DC called the Marine Corps Marathon. Since I served in the Marine Corps I have always wanted to run this marathon. I have also taken Polar Bear Plunges in Minneapolis, MN when I was here in the winters.

I stay pretty involved with my job and family when I am home.
I always wanted to be a engineer when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a great idea. As it turns out, they were wrong.
I don't let anything get to me. I usually step back, take a deep breath and then work through the problems. My favorite way to relax is with a good book.
My hero was my oldest son. He died from cancer in 2002. He was the smartest and the bravest person I know. We talked a lot in his final days and he never gave up on his struggle with cancer. He told me and his mon not to worry about him as he was ready to meet God.
If I won $100 million, I'd give 25% of it to God, then spend the rest on my wife, children and family.
In 10 years, I hope to be retired. I'm going to get there by 2012.
