About Me
Q. What is the story behind WHY NOT JAMES?
A. I remember being told many years
ago that my naming was left right
up to when the last minute was called.
I imagine this, the moment my parents
said WHY NOT JAMES.
WHY NOT JAMES
I strive to be the unique person I am,
I strive to grow as times spent and
I am just so happy to be here.
