James attended Prarie View A&M University, an HBCU, where he earned a degree in Civil Engineering. Afterwards he began his corporate career at ExxonMobil, where he worked for 33 years before retiring three-and-a-half years ago as a top executive.
James came into golf late, at 45-years-old, thanks to his wife, who gifted him a set of golf clubs along with lessons. Prior to receiving the gift, he was given professional advice that he would either have to know how to hunt or play golf since his company was moving him to Beaumont, Texas. Interestingly enough, he had a coworker he would constantly compete with that was also learning the game, and golf helped them build a friendship with each other.
