“I help people discover their purpose
and unleash their power.
I help organizations unlock their potential
and drive their profitability.”
James grew up the child of a truck driver and factory worker in the rural foothills of Virginia who always dreamed of succeeding in the business world. He left his practice as a corporate attorney in his twenties at the beginning of the Great Recession, and in spite of daunting odds, for more than a decade he quietly grew his consulting firm, Excel Global Partners (EGP). As he grew EGP, the complexity of his world increased.
James found himself a young man of color and an out member of the LGBT community, earning his place as a rare trusted voice in boardrooms of corporations, working closely with management and senior executives in restructurings. strategic planning, M&A, and more. With newfound responsibility and Influence, James Invested in coaching for himself, deepening his own consciousness, self-love, and self-mastery before ever setting out to coach or motivate anyone else.

At 31, James nearly lost his life in a near-death drowning accident on a stormy lake while kayaking with a friend. Miraculously surviving near impossible conditions, James returned to life after a spiritual crossing over with a new sense of purposefulness and a more methodical approach to life, relationships, and business. James calls his 2012 accident, his second birthday and his wake-up call. Just like the storm he survived, he takes any challenge that life hands him with grace and an unshakably positive attitude.
