JAMES T JUDGE

I'VE HAD A LOT OF CLOSE CALLS, BUT AS OF YET, IT'S AS THE SAYING GOES... "ALWAYS A BRIDESMAID - NEVER A BRIDE'... ALTHOUGH MINE'S MORE LIKE 'ALWAYS A FINALIST, NEVER BEEN CASTED!' HOWEVER, I TRULY BELIEVE THINGS HAPPEN FOR A REASON AND I KNOW THAT MY DAY WILL COME... BUT IF IT COULD GET HERE SOON - THAT'D BE GREAT!

I was born and raised in Wisconsin Rapids, WI. I have an amazing family and I had a wonderful childhood embracing everything life has to offer. Growing up, I went to Clown School and performed as 'SKITTLES' the clown at local events, parties, and festivals. During high school, I performed in theatrical productions, was elected as the School Board Representative for the public school system, and competed at Nationals with the Cheer and Stunt Team, for which I was Captain my senior year. I attended the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities were I pursued degrees in Interior Architecture and Communication Studies with an emphasis in Marketing and Public Relations. Throughout college, I explored internships and work opportunities that enhanced my fields of study because I want to be as well rounded as possible. Early on, I worked in a local design firm and interned with HGTV's "Decorating Cents," where I worked with the designers and producers to create the final two episodes of the series. Following that, I spent a summer in New York City interning with Jonathan Adler Inc. There I worked on high-end residential design projects, prepared a photo shoot for Liz Lange's summer house showcased in "House Beautiful" May 2009 issue, and assisted the marketing department with promotional events. These experiences led me to pursing marketing as well, and since then I've managed marketing campaigns and promotions that have given me experience in brand representation, social networking, hiring staff, training, product allotment and much more. Additionally, while representing brands as a spokesperson I've enhanced my communication skills and my ability to articulate a clear message. After earning my Bachelor's of Science degree in May of 2010, I traveled abroad and gained a much deeper sense of cultural insight. I've been to twenty six countries across five continents and I look forward to traveling much more in the future... It's been my goal since first grade to travel to all seven continents! I currently reside in Phoenix, Arizona, where I'm acting as a spokesperson and pursuing possible career opportunities!
