After his retirement, James worked many different jobs, from security guard, corrections officer, armored car carrier, to postal worker. He is currently working as a security officer with the Department of Homeland Security (I.C.E.), and he loves it! James gets to work with a variety of people from diverse backgrounds, all working and supporting each other to get the job done, reminding him of his time in the military.

James is married to his wonderful wife and is a proud father to a son and a daughter. He has battled hypertension since the mid-1990s, and over time, his kidneys declined, requiring him to start dialysis in 2020. He looks forward to having his health restored and not having to rely on a machine to keep him alive. He would love to be able to travel with his family again and do his job without interruptions due to his dialysis scheduling. Will you join us in our mission to find a kidney for James? Your support, whether through spreading the word on social media or considering becoming a donor, can make a profound impact on his life and the life of his family!
