James joined Marsh McLennan Agency (MMA) in 2021 as a personal lines sales executive. James has 14 years of industry experience and works with his team to help clients protect their assets and achieve their personal and professional goals. James has been a Bend, Oregon, native since 2000, and a lifelong Oregonian. He maintained his own agency for several years, starting in 2012, and experienced great success there. During his time at the company, he won several company awards including its top All American award multiple times. To give his clients more options, he decided to make the switch to MMA.
James loves to be involved with the local community. He is a current member of the Rotary Club of Bend and is the chair for the Interact Club of Mountain View High School where he mentors students on planning and executing community projects. He is a past president of his current business networking group, and he most recently won the "accomplished under 40" award with Cascade Business News. In 2023, James reached the apex of his career and won Best Insurance Agent in the Bend Bulletin's first very Best of Bend awards.
When James isn't helping clients, he is spending time with his wife, Lisa, his son, Paxton and his Labradoodle dog, Clyde. He loves the Central Oregon lifestyle and spending time outdoors hiking and camping. He is an avid Blazers, Mariners, Seahawks and Oregon Ducks fan, which means he's a glutton for punishment. Having industry experience and community presence makes James a valuable asset with MMA and he is excited to make a difference with his clients!
