James was born with a congenital disability called femoral dysplasia and a floating hip of the left leg as well as scoliosis of the spine. James' grew up on a NATO base in Belgium but now reside back in Prestatyn, North Wales. He is an online training and nutrition coach by trade but he was an elite Paralympic athlete for just over a decade. He has been lucky enough over those years to have represented Great Britain at countless World Championships and 2 Paralympics Games (Beijing 2008 and London 2012) to just name a few. He started out his sporting career in swimming and was part of British Swimming's Potential Squad from 2003-05.

The transition happened fairly quickly as James' made his first senior international competition that summer at the 2006 World Championships in Dorney Lake, Great Britain and made the final finishing 6th. 2007 W
