Personal Quote: "Better a smart ass than a dumb ass."

Background: James first played paintball with a Splatmaster Rapide in the backwoods of the suburbs of Washington, DC in 1992. Having honed his skills at the various fields of Northern Virginia (AG, VAG and Hogback) in that first year, he and the newly formed RAMF journeyed to the open spaces of a fledgling Skirmish USA for what would be the first of the annual World Record games. His paintball skills finally tested, and with adulthood looming, he parted ways with his comrades to seek his fortune in the darker corners of the world. Nearly a decade later, in a chance encounter, the founding members of the RAMF were reunited, and began the uphill climb toward becoming one of the most respected paintball teams on the East Coast. In 2005, the RAMF, James among them, were invited to join the Dead Ringers. James is the team's intelligence specialist, and has been known to push lesser-experienced players to fulfill their potential as warriors on the battlefield.
