James has quite the story to tell his youngsters one of these days.
His life now as an adult is a true miracle considering his life growing up.
While other youngsters were born into nice suburban properties, he was born in a crack house on a dirty floor. His mom happened to be an addict, and he was born with drugs in his system. Not knowing how to take care of a newborn, she made her way into a hospital and left him there. James would later get adopted, but things took a toll when he was a young child. He fell in with a bad crowd and began to abuse drugs and alcohol. His adoptive parents tried to help him, but in time, he landed in prison after getting caught committing a horrendous crime. He got clean thanks to this prison pastor who taught him in jail. James began taking classes, getting his GED, and training as a Heating, Ventilation, and A/C equipment serviceman during the joint. When he was finally released, he managed to get a part-time job while going to school to become a qualified Heating, Ventilation, and A/C equipment worker. His adoptive parents were still in his life and so happy to see his life had turned around. Today, James is 1 of the most sought-after independent Heating, Ventilation, and A/C equipment workers in his entire region. Despite having a rough start, he is proof that anyone can change the narrative and live a better life. As a way to give back, he is working on teaching other youngsters and people in prison while encouraging them to train as Heating, Ventilation, and A/C equipment workers. So far, he has a number of inmates working with him as he is focusing on building an AC maintenance and servicing business.
