Meet The Team

James attended Paul Smith’s college and earned a degree in Restaurant management/Culinary. As an intern at the prestigious Woodcliff Lake Hilton, I stayed on after graduation working both banquet and a’la carte kitchens.

After several chef positions in northern NJ,I became the house caterer and owner of Rare and Well Done Caterers at the Bears Nest community in Park Ridge. Here I catered to the likes of Richard Nixon,the NJ Nets and many high end clients in the suburbs of NYC.

James has been with Compass for 12 years and is presently EC at both the North Castle and CHQ locations.
