What began as casual hikes with a camera evolved into a deeper interest in photography and observation. Through the lens, James discovered a powerful way to capture the emotional depth behind environmental and human stories—something numbers alone cannot always convey. His creative lens supports our internal team and external stakeholders to understand the impact behind every dollar, capturing the possibility of stories through both storytelling and financial feasibility. With his interest in storytelling, in addition to his financial background, James helps ensure that AMPP’s financial management meets professional standards to make our projects possible, transparent, and inspiring for others.
