How Did He Get Into That?

People wanted to know how a young punk kid who got caught for illegal hacking had been able to turn his life around and become a highly invested, highly purposeful adult by helping the CIA. James shares, “I fell in love with the concept of interactive entertainment, allowing people to make their own story, reacting to stimuli you put in place.” And he created programs with his knowledge in gaming to help these intelligence agencies deal with terrorists and warfare.

Looking Back

James looks back on his early teenage years and shares, “I was an intelligent, rebellious youth, but my grades and attendance records weren’t the sole indicators for my potential contribution to society.” And although he had to learn to steer his intelligence in the right direction the hard way, thankfully, he also did so because a judge decided to take a chance on a bright but troubled teen.
