About James


James lives in Moscow, Idaho with his wife and four feral boys, spending his days working on all aspects of creative work in design, film, publishing, and tech.

He grew up skiing off cliffs, fishing the small streams of Idaho, and constantly creating. His work is centered on a belief that beauty and craftsmanship is central to everything God does, and we are to imitate Him.

He has devoted his efforts to helping missional endeavors make a bigger impact in the world with design and brand. He currently serves as Chief Creative Officer at Canon Press. Over the years he has designed countless book covers, websites, brand launches, viral marketing campaigns, Canon+ streaming platform, and everything in between. He has served the brand from a small startup book publisher to full-orbed media house. Stewarding this brand for maximum impact has been his focus.

He has directed The Riot and the Dance: Water and The Riot and the Dance Season 1 series, a nature show that gives glory to the Creator, currently streaming on Angel. He has also produced various documentary films, including the hit documentary The Lunatic Farmer, also streaming on Angel.

He co-founded Treefort, a tech company built to enable media companies, ministries, and creators to directly serve their audiences.

All the while he has crafted brands for a wide range of clients nationwide.
What profit has the worker from that in which he labors? I have seen the God-given task with which the sons of men are to be occupied. He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end. I know that nothing is better for them than to rejoice, and to do good in their lives, and also that every man should eat and drink and enjoy the good of all his labor—it is the gift of God.  

Ecclesiastes 3: 9-13
