It all started in college, when James launched a YouTube series exploring the emerging role of video sharing in U.S. politics.
The Economist called him “probably the world’s foremost expert on YouTube videos posted by presidential candidates.”
In a journalistic first, presidential candidates even dropped by his dorm room for interviews.
He then joined the Politico newsroom as one of the national media’s first video bloggers. He later hosted a political video series for The Daily, an experimental news app.
James went on to hone his passion for technology storytelling as a marketer for AI companies, two of which were acquired. He currently serves as Chief Storytelling Officer at Agerpoint, an AI company for agriculture and nature.
James lives with his family in North Carolina’s Research Triangle. In his spare time, he enjoys reading one, sometimes two full paragraphs before falling asleep.
