About Us
JAMES TAYLOR
James was born and raised in Morrisonville, IL (It's alright if you have never heard of it, no one else has either). In high school, he enjoyed spending his time playing on the baseball and basketball teams. After graduating from high school, James went on to attend and recently graduate from Taylor University with a degree in Christian Educational Ministries.
James loves to travel and has a goal of reaching each of the seven continents. Having just moved from the cornfields of the midwest, James can be found enjoying Bend through hiking, camping, fishing, or skiing. He also enjoys watching and playing all sports while passionately rooting for the St. Louis Cardinals baseball team. In case you were wondering, he is definitely not related to or named after the famous musician of the same name but will take the chance to sing karaoke to any James Taylor song. Most of all, James is ecstatic about having the opportunity of spending time with some really awesome junior high students.
