A leader and entrepreneur at heart, James first discovered his ability to command an audience’s attention while in college.  Elected president of a campus student organization, James would speak to his peers on a weekly basis.  He discovered that even his peers were drawn to his passion and message.  Following college and  graduate school, James started Passport, Inc. with his wife and a couple of friends from college.  Passport, Inc. is a nonprofit company, whose goal is “to work for integrated, ecumenical, inspirational weeks of summer camp for youth and children.”  Once the non-profit was up and running, James’s entrepreneurial spirit could not be held to one company, and he gave the reigns of leadership to David, his best friend from college and a co-founder.  Though no longer employed by Passport, James serves as a consultant to the company and the vice president of the Board of Directors. Years after Passport, inc., James started a business consulting firm, Bush Consulting and Motivation.  BCM offers organizational consulting and personal/professional coaching.  BCM mission is to provide ethical solutions for business and professional development.  The company focus is on the success and prosperity of the client, believing that when business prospers ethically entire communities prosper. James has completed doctoral studies on leadership, ethics, and theology.  He is active in the Lawrence, KS Chamber of Commerce and is the President of the Lawrence Central Rotary Club.  His greatest joy is being at home with his wife Sandy and three wonderful children.
