James serves as the Invite Director at Cuyahoga Valley Church, overseeing Worship and Welcome after many years as a volunteer in both Worship and CVCYouth. In fact, it was through serving in CVCYouth that he met his wife, Kelly — proof that you never know what might happen when you volunteer.
James loves celebrating others and creating environments where people can encounter Jesus. He is also the founder of Fruits Creative, a storytelling-driven production company serving churches, nonprofits, schools, and families through video and event production. He may also be the world’s biggest goofball.
James and Kelly have four amazing, mostly grown kids, a son-in-law, and the world’s best dog, Elvis.
