My name is Shane Jeremy James, and I have always been business-headed. From the ages of 16, I was reading business articles, and learning the art of business. I even started selling hockey cards - not a business I know, but obviously demonstrating sheer spirit and entrepreneurship!
Growing up, I had two passions. My first passion was hockey. I loved hockey, and although I loved the sport and was pretty good at it (if I do say so myself), I knew I would never be able to make a career out of it. My dream of joining the NHL faded, and I knew it wasn't meant to be. Instead, I focused all my time and energy on my second passion - the passion for business. Not only was business something I wished to pursue, but also knew that I wanted to make something of myself - to be successful, to be known, to make a difference!
