Following school, he worked various jobs in the local area including A Cut Above Landscaping.  He was currently employed by Kings Quarry, in Adams, as a heavy equipment operator.

James loved spending time with family and especially his many friends.  He was fun, crazy, and always had a smile on his face and ready for a good time.  James loved riding 4-wheelers, dirt bikes, side by sides, snowmobiles and anything with an engine that would go fast.  He enjoyed hunting, fishing and he loved snowboarding.  He and his friends traveled all over to snowboard and ride the trails with an atv.  He even built his own road on Galloo Island, known as Wagar Road.
