In 2002, he had the opportunity to do security at the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. After being diagnosed with Stage 3 Colon Cancer in the summer of 2004 at the age of 42, James did not let the diagnosis diminish his love for public service.

In addition, he also served on the Madison County Fair Board/Ag Society for twelve years and served as president for several of those years.
