James was born and raised in Michigan, shaped by a deep connection to both wild and cultivated landscapes—from time spent in the northern woods and national forests to days on his grandmother’s horse farm, as well as life in vibrant capital and college towns. This balance of nature and community continues to influence his path.

A lifelong music enthusiast who has attended hundreds of concerts across multiple states, James developed a strong appreciation for the power of sound as both expression and experience. His work has evolved from this passion into a more intentional practice of sound as a therapeutic tool.

As an avid outdoorsman, eco-conscious landscaper, gardener, and herbalist, James is deeply rooted in working with the earth and supporting holistic well-being. > WHEN DID YOU START LANDSCAPING?
