James was born into a very stable family; both parents were at home and took more than a keen interest in their children. It was obvious from an early stage that even though he had the abilities for dialect and language his interests lay in engineering, something his parents were keen to develop. There was a proviso attached that time would be taken to work on the dialect and language skills, something which has stood him well in his later career.

Joining Starfleet Academy was a big change for James moving from a family orientated setting to an open and social arena that initially caused a few issues. It was at engineering school that he excelled, he had no interest in pursuing and other avenues and it was only at the insistence of one of the tutors that he took on the operations role as a minor at the academy.

The assignment to the USS FALINGE was as he put it the most amazing opportunity he had experienced, if it wasn’t the accident on that ship he would have been a confident officer looking at a very bright future.  

During his time at the fleet yards he became more withdrawn and isolated, but with extensive counselling James began to redevelop his life and his career, earning him the respect of the engineering team there. It was this team that put him forward for the assistant CEO’s post on SORANUS. It was soon after this that he was promoted to CEO of the SORANUS after the CO and XO noticed that he had far more to offer, promoted to LTJG (O-2) he has held this post to date.  

James is not the most sociable animal and can come across as a bit of a geek and uptight although a he is eager to become an accepted member of the crew and makes an unwavering loyal friend.

He is not fond of difficult situations and tends to try and find a solution before it becomes an issue, even if it may cause him some difficulties.

He is open-minded and will never judge people, he takes his role as the Chief Engineer seriously and is always looking for 110%.

To James Starfleet is more than a vocation it is his life and he can be counted on to fulfil his duty regardless of the situation.

James is fascinated with history ecology and avidly pursues these interests during his free time. He is also a fitness buff and can be seen undertaking a deck by deck run on a regular basis.

When he is not engaging in these activities he can be found practicing his social skills or on the shuttle deck tinkering with the speedboat style shuttles.

James suffered a serious accident on his first posting on USS FALINGE, whilst running a warp enhancement test a main plasma conduit blew, James went back in to rescue the CEO just as the main conduit collapsed crushing him severely damaging his spine.

His spine was rebuilt using adapted Borg technology and is now better than new, however it James found the psychological effects hard to deal with and requested a posting at the San Francisco fleet yards.
