James started his career in the banking sector working in credit management with such heavyweights as American Express and Citibank. James jumped to the telecommunications sector where he continued in the credit management business for Sprint Canada. In 1996 James transitioned into the Internet industry, and was part of the team that helped Sprint Canada launch its ISP offering nationwide.

Thereafter James started a successful internet and desktop support consultancy, which later evolved into a web hosting provider.
