Hello!
My name is James and I'm your host! The House Next Door got its name because we literally live next door! I am dad to a long-haired Weimaraner named Buddy. I am an avid foodie, adventurer, outdoorsman, and traveler.
I attended college at Ferris State University earning a Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering and a Master's Degree in Business Administration with advanced certifications in Design and Innovation Management from Kendall College of Art and Design. During my career, I've had the privilege to work for large technology companies in the automotive, information technology, and petroleum industries in varying roles from Process Engineering to System Administrator. I am also a professional bicycle mechanic, still working for the same shop since 2005!
We are very customer service oriented and are excited for the opportunity to be your host!
