A native of Salt Lake City, Utah, James ventured east where he attended Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. During his four years at Case Western, James was a two time UAA All-Conference running back graduating in 2007 with a BA in sociology.

Following his undergraduate studies, James took a position at his alma mater coaching running backs while also working for a small book company in Cleveland as a project manager. In his three years with Case Western the team compiled a 31-3 record that included three consecutive UAA conference championships and three straight NCAA Division III playoff appearances highlighted by the first playoff victory in school history during the 2007 season. Also during his tenure at Case Western, James had three different running backs named to the UAA All-Conference team and was also recognized as part of the UAA Coaching Staff of the Year in 2007, 2008, and 2009.

“I am incredibly excited for the opportunity to coach at a school of Grinnell’s caliber. I am looking forward to the challenge of restoring Pioneer Football back to the forefront of the Midwest Conference and helping young student athletes excel on and off the field.”
