Hi, I'm James!

I’m a Jesus follower, happily married since 2009, and an enthusiastic father of 3.

I like the outdoors (backpacking, rock climbing, paddling, mountain biking), philosophy, woodworking, automotive, fixing broken stuff, and anything to do with family.

I spent 17 years working at VW as a mechanic and later an engineer.

I retired* in May 2023 with $400,000 saved, no debt or mortgage, & a minimum $1,800 in monthly expenses after hearing clearly from God that it was time to take the step of faith I had been planning for (google "financial movement FIRE") long before I hit my FIRE number. In March of 2025 I sold my house, gave away all my possessions and hit the road with my family and a minivan with 280,000 miles to tell everyone we find in the National Parks about the good news of Jesus Christ!
