An artist, writer, and professional Transformer devotee, James got his start in the industry at 21 when he sold his first cartoon to “Simpsons” producer, Film Roman. Since then he’s written and developed comics, television, and features for Hasbro, TokyoPop, Dreamworks, Studio B, and New Line Cinema.

In his role at Steelehouse, James gets to play make-believe on a professional level – not only generating original characters, worlds, and intellectual properties for Steelehouse, but revising, re-imagining, and/or rebooting existing brands.

A native of Orange County, James now calls Tulsa home, living with his son Vector, dog Courage, and his 20th Anniversary Edition Optimus Prime (The Japanese import, not the plastic American version).
