Biography

During his eight-year U.S. Army career, James served in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia; Suwon, Korea; Ft. Stewart, Ga.; and Ft. Bliss, Tx. James went from leading soldiers as a non-commissioned officer to earning a B.A. in Psychology, an M.A. in Education, and supporting military-affiliated students in community college, non-profit, for-profit, and Research 1 institutions. On Veterans Day 2014 in Washington DC, along with two colleagues, he presented a congressional briefing on how the U.C. system supports military-affiliated students.

James' areas of interest include financial literacy, successful transitions, and student success. He has spent the last 15 years in higher education supporting military-affiliated and non-traditional students. In his personal life, he has championed veteran causes, financial literacy programs, and individuals aging out of foster care. He resides in San Diego, California, with his wife, Janka, and their cats, T'challa and Freddie.
