founder & CEO
James is a veteran operator with over two decades of experience leading high-performing teams and building the operational infrastructure businesses need to scale with confidence. Before founding Anchor Valley, he held senior leadership roles across manufacturing, industrial services, and private equity environments. He has managed teams across finance, operations, and strategy, and has consistently focused on solving execution challenges, simplifying complexity, and bringing clarity to fast-moving businesses.
From restructuring regional operations and increasing EBITDA to aligning executive teams around scalable systems, James brings hands-on experience that directly informs the way Anchor Valley supports clients.
Earlier in his career, James served in the U.S. Navy as an Electronics Technician Supervisor. His time in the military shaped his approach to leadership, reinforcing the value of structure, discipline, and follow-through under pressure. These principles continue to guide his work with founders and executive teams today.
"Anchor Valley has been an incredible blessing to our church. James has helped us get clarity around our finances, streamline how we operate, and build a solid plan for the future. Their guidance has brought real peace of mind and made it easier to focus on ministry."

Our clients come to us for clarity and stay with us for momentum. Whether it’s building a financial model that actually gets used, or helping a founder get out of the weeds, we focus on the work that moves the business forward.
We don’t drop a playbook on your desk and walk away. We work side by side with you to solve real problems in real time, tailoring everything to your team, goals, and operational realities. No fluff. Just progress.
Nope. While we’ve worked extensively in SaaS, energy, financial services, and more, our approach is industry-agnostic. If you have complexity in your business, we can help you untangle it and scale smarter.
We work with growth-minded founders and small teams, especially those going through change, dealing with complexity, or preparing for a big move. Most of our clients are scaling, cleaning up operations, or getting ready for funding or an exit. If you’re tired of doing things the hard way, you’re in the right place.
Every engagement is different, but our goal is always the same: to create systems, structure, and clarity so your team can move faster with less stress. Most clients see stronger execution, fewer bottlenecks, and better visibility into what’s working.
That’s exactly what reaching out is for. We’ll help you figure out what’s really getting in the way and where to focus first. Even if we’re not the right fit, you’ll leave with more clarity.
