James joined the Tolsma Productions team in 2012 after having worked as an EMT, sous chef, bouncer, and photographer. The one unifying theme to all of these varied experiences? There are fascinating stories begging to be told everywhere one looks. James takes great pleasure in helping clients advance their missions, and is always happy to share what he’s learned along the way. James manages day-to-day operations, and directs and produces both short-form documentary-style video content and virtual events. James lives in North Philadelphia with his husband and their two dogs, Stubbs and Pepper (both of whom can often be found serving as assistant editors in our South Philadelphia offices) An avid amateur cyclist and photographer, James holds a B.S. from Saint Joseph’s University.
