James graduated from the Physician Assistant Program at MEDEX Northwest in Seattle, Washington, and completed his clinicals in Las Vegas, Nevada. He is dually board certified in medicine and surgery.  After graduating, he worked as the director of two separate emergency departments in Lake Chelan and Newport, Washington.
