Based in Metro Detroit, James’ current role as a program manager focuses on support to Army ground vehicle programs, Detroit Arsenal stakeholders, and efforts that support our warfighters.  

James served in the Army as a Military Intelligence officer in diverse leadership and staff roles at every echelon from platoon to division, including a deployment to Iraq in support of Operation Inherent Resolve. He served in all types of brigade combat teams: armored, Stryker, and infantry, providing a wealth of knowledge and experience in ground vehicle platform employment, integration, and end-user value. 

In his role as an Army Civilian, James later served as the Intelligence Team Lead and Lead Program Integrator for the Next Generation Combat Vehicles Cross-Functional Team (NGCV CFT).
