Founder of digitalnatives inc., RAG agent expert, trained agentic agent developer and marketing strategist who began his journey as a licensed realtor in New Jersey.

He’s since built a thriving boutique advertising agency in Philadelphia that exclusively services the real estate industry with accounts nationwide. His marketing team now manages hundreds of real estate teams and brokerage advertising accounts all across the country.
Aligning with his core belief to help others achieve their goals, he created the wildly successful online community Circle of Excellence®.

James is truly experiencing a full circle moment and considers it a privilege to openly share with others his personal journey with the hopes it will encourage others to create their own.
