About James

I grew up on Cape Ann and was fortunate, with the help of my wife Carroll, headteacher at Tara Montessori School in Manchester-by-the-Sea, to have raised two children in this beautiful area. I am a licensed Real Estate Agent, working with Coldwell Banker Realty in Manchester and a self-employed Property Manager, responsible for a number of commercial and residential properties on Cape Ann. My area of knowledge and expertise falls within the Greater Cape Ann, including Essex, Rockport, Gloucester, Ipswich, Manchester-by-the-Sea, and Beverly. Having lived in Manchester, and now Essex, MA, I feel a strong obligation to give back to the local community. In addition to being a long-time member of The Manchester Club and an active Freemason serving the Manchester Lodge, I am a member of Manchester's Downtown Improvement Committee, and I sit on the Board of Directors of both The North Shore Association of Realtors (NAR) and the Greater Cape Ann Chamber of Commerce. I have also served as a past member of the Manchester Zoning Board of Appeals and Manchester's 375th Anniversary Committee. In addition to a Massachusetts Real Estate license, I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Electronic Engineering, an MBA from Bentley University, and am a graduate of the Northern Essex Community College Home Inspection program. I have enjoyed many hobbies including scuba diving, flying single-engine airplanes, and taking interstate trips on my motorcycle. Prior to becoming a Realtor ® , I was employed as a Marketing Manager, at which time I traveled throughout Asia, Europe, and across the United States. This experience has given me a unique business perspective in establishing trust and openness with the goal of achieving desired results through creative solutions, honest negotiations, and practicing the highest level of ethics.
