In August of 1988, at the age of five just after becoming a Christian, James began his formal schooling at Roanoke Valley Christian Schools, where his father then taught.  During the late 1980s and early 90s, James accompanied his parents on a number of voyages, that he would later say, "greatly influenced his childhood," including several family visits to the Commonwealth of Canada and multiple speaking engagements of his father's at various Christian youth camps throughout the eastern United States.  

James went on to enter the Roanoke City Public Schools system in 1991 and soon went on to show interest, as well as gain distinction, in the arts and social sciences, winning a number of awards for his studies along with various musical and dramatic performances before graduating in June of 2001.

While in his freshman year of high school, James joined the Cadet Program of the US Air Force Auxiliary of Civil Air Patrol, which he would continue serving with throughout his high school, undergraduate, and graduate school years.  During many of his summer months, James traveled outside Virginia, as well as outside the US, volunteering at a number of Christian youth camps and taking part in a several twinning organisation voyages to Northern France and Southern England.

Following the completion of his graduate work at Hollins University, James married his girlfriend of seven years and "second most precious gift" Miss Ashley Hartman, on July 7, 2007.  James and Ashley were married in Hollins' DuPont Chapel in the presence of 500 of their friends and family members, in what many described as a "beautiful" and "royal" event.
