James's Story
Life
In 1997 I married Lesley Cooke, she was in the class of 83 at IHS. We own our own business in the Bellingham Area of Washington State.
Workplace
I've kind of fallen through my working life. While in school I got offered a job in the entertainment industry and since I was already being paid by the college to do work that was in the same field I figured what they heck.
I worked in the entertainment industry for some 12 years and when my father-in-law retired the opportunity of being a business owner grabbed me. Now I never thought I would be a business owner, but I've always felt that I could do a better job than the people that I worked for! So now is my chance to either sink or swim!
I'm pleased to say that our company while being small, is able to stand up to the larger companies in the market that our products serve.
After Lesley & I moved from California to Washington in 2004. I returned to the entertain...Expand for more
ment industry full time and fortunately landed in a most wonderful and magical historic theatre that for the last 8 years I have taken a leadership role in the theatre non profit that runs the venue. I can honestly say that I make a difference to those in the PNW theatrical and live entertainment community and am able to give back my joy and expertise to those starting out in the entertainment business and also in small business.
Lesley continues to run our business and I assist her where needed.
Family
In 2005 Lesley & I became licensed foster parents in WA state and took guardianship of two young men (ages 15 & 17 at the time). We stewarded them in their growth into young adults and in May of 2021 we adopted the oldest, Taylor. He did not have the best start but now as a adult, his life is full of joy and happiness.
We look forward to our next chapter in having a full and wonderful retirement and senior life.
