Founder of Climb For Kids. I am a long time recreational mountaineer and devoted family man. I love my family and I love the mountains. You can read more about me on the people page or from my personal blog. I also encourage you to follow me on twitter.

I joined Eastside Maternal Fetal Medicine in 2004 - after completing my fellowship in upstate New York. When not actively engaged at work, I cherish my time with my wife and three young children. (Though I rarely turn down an opportunity to play golf or hike/climb with friends!).

An avid and accomplished climber/mountaineer when he was younger, James transitioned his travel/adventure lust into entrepreneurship and the "event" business. As a Ticketmaster employee, he was the first to identify/conceptualize online's potential, and was a founder of Ticketmaster Online. After Ticketmaster, James ran ticketing worldwide for Walt Disney Theatrical Productions and later was VP of Strategy for Tickets.com, where he helped create its ticketing success. James currently spends his time consulting and working with non-profits with their event/ticketing needs.
