After graduating from Bates College, James worked in finance at AIG and in sales at AG Salesworks. In 2007 he took time off to hike the Appalachian Trail, where he met Midpoint Trade Books' President Eric Kampmann!
In 2008 Midpoint hired him as a marketing and sales associate. He worked with independent bookstore accounts, marketing projects, and, later, the library market. His role eventually expanded to include inventory management duties as well as sales.
In 2010 he had an integral role in developing Midpoint's eBook program and now manages all digital initiatives. He currently works with Midpoint's client publishers to develop and implement their eBook strategies. He also oversees the distribution, marketing and sales of eBooks.
James is pursuing an MBA part-time from NYU Stern and continues to hike whenever he can.
