* Prior to retiring from private practice in 1999, I was a healthcare executive and foot & ankle surgeon in So. California for 25 years.

* I am CEO at Children's H.E.L.P. 501(c)(3), where our passion is "Causing smiles and bringing hope to children in need around the world." Children's H.E.L.P. has worked humanitarian aid and desaster relief projects in China, Equatorial Guinea, Kenya, Mexico, Morocco, Papua New Guinea, Spain, and Turkey. Visit http://childrenshelp.org.

* Today, C.HELP is focused on addressing children's issues resulting from family displacement as a result of foreclosures. To learn more about our Community Housing Revitalization Program visit http://childrenshelp.wordpress.com.

* I'm also a real estate broker, and CEO at Just say, "Home, James!®" CA agency. Visit http;//HomeJamesCA.com.

* My family and I have been blessed by opportunities to live in Nairobi, Kenya and in Sotogrande on Spain's Costa del Sol. We circumnavigated the western Mediterranean Sea in our yacht "Spirit of Hope," and sailed transatlantic from Portugal to Florida. Along the way, we've enjoyed meeting our vast network of friends and co-workers. If you know us but haven't heard from us lately, please contact us (click "Email Me", below). We look forward to re-connecting with you.

Cheers!
