He is a lifelong fan of the Green Bay Packers, and supports his college team, the Clemson Tigers. On more leisurely days, he can be found strumming his guitar or listening to rock n' roll. He and his wife Erin love to travel, and she cheerfully tolerates his propensity to wear vintage clothing and to sport unique mustaches. James favorite quote is "Let us rather run the risk of wearing out than rusting out."
