My name is James.

I love people and I love helping people.

My goal is to become a very wise man and use my knowledge, wisdom, understanding, and experience to help others.

I hope to combine my knowledge, experience, and education in engineering, management, science, psychology, neuroscience, teaching, learning, and God to bring out the best in all of us and promote perfect physical, mental, and spiritual health in all people.


I am a huge Walt Disney World fan!

I grew up loving Disney movies, visiting Disney World almost every year, and dreaming to become an Imagineer.

Imagineering led me to Polytech.


I grew up playing video games with my first console being the NES.

To this day, I love the Super Mario Brothers franchise with Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Galaxy 2 being some of my favorite Mario games.

I also love the Zelda franchise with Breath of the Wild and Ocarina of Time being my favorite Zelda games.


I love watching anime!

Favorite anime is Boku no Hero Academia and Shokugeki no Soma.


Media Support is my first family at Poly. I love my Media Support team very much.
