James, a natural hacker and tinkerer, comes to Avrem with over 17 years of experience in IT operations, network administration, and data analytics. James’ journey in IT began in 1997 as a Phone Technician for a local ISP in Boardman, where he helped customers configure their computers to connect to the internet during the heyday of dial-up. James eventually also served as a Product Manager for their custom CMS product and also assisted in ISO 27001 and PCI audits.
Having worked across a range of industries—including electronics manufacturing, wholesale distribution, and web development—James brings a diverse set of skills in project management, process automation, IT operations, data analysis, and digital marketing.
For fun, James enjoys spending time with his three children, gardening (especially container vegetable gardening), and watching Film Noir. He’s currently reading the book The Ad Men (which inspired the hit TV Show Mad Men).
