James graduated from Loma Linda University in 2007 and worked as a contract dentist in Walla Walla, WA then at a small clinic in Havre, MT. In 2012, James acquired the long-running Kalispell Family Dental practice that had been home to Denny Schultz, DDS. Dr. Schultz remained on as an associate for 2 years until his retirement in 2014. Unlike a lot of offices where the doctor is hidden in the back, James is readily available to talk with patients and is involved in much of the day to day happenings in the office.
While in college, James met his wife Brooke and together they have two kids, Anders and Ella. When hes not in the office youre likely to find James playing hockey, skiing, snowmobiling, biking or watching the Vikings.
