James grew-up in the US and started mountain biking in 1996 after moving to Colorado. After a few years of running collegiate track and cross country, the focus shifted to mountain biking and off-road triathlon. James moved to Australia in 2005 and now lives in Rowville VIC with Rowena and Quenton and manages a heavy equipment business when not training.

James focuses on cross-country/endurance racing and off-road triathlon, doing national, state, and local races on a regular basis as well as the occasional overseas event such as the Xterra World Championship and multi-day mountain bike races.

The support and strength of the team has given me the tools and motivation to succeed in my goal races. It’s easy to succeed when you have the confidence of a team like this behind you.
