Embarking on a transformative journey, James shattered the boundaries of possibility in 2012 by completing an unprecedented 30 Ironman-distance triathlons within a single year. This audacious feat, pushing his body through 2.4-mile swims, 112-mile bike rides, and 26.2-mile runs, earned him an esteemed place in the Guinness Book of World Records.
In 2015, James embarked on a voyage known as “The 50-50-50,” a testament to his unwavering determination. Over 50 consecutive days, he tackled 50 Ironman-distance triathlons across 50 diverse states. Beyond the physical challenge, this endeavor was driven by a noble cause: combating childhood obesity. His journey was captured in the acclaimed documentary “Iron Cowboy | The Story of the 50.50.50.”
However, James’s pursuit of the extraordinary did not cease there.

This astounding accomplishment encompassed a staggering total of 14,060 miles. Through this monumental endeavor, he sought to raise awareness and resources to combat the dire issue of sex trafficking. A documentary chronicling The CONQUER 100 was slated for release in December 2022.
Beyond the world of triathlons, James has taken on diverse challenges, including summiting Mount Kilimanjaro on a bicycle, conquering the Fiji Eco-Challenge, prevailing in the Race Across America, mastering the Norseman World Championship, and embarking on a 235-mile run across the expanse of Greece.
