Born on August 18th, 1975, in Lake Charles, Louisiana, to Judy Ann and Terry Lee Conner of Kaplan, Louisiana, and Jerry Don Mizer of Grapevine, Texas, James spent his early years and young adulthood in Creole, Louisiana, where he graduated from South Cameron High School and went directly to work for over 20 years in the oil and petrochemical industry. James traveled throughout the country for work for Total Service Supply and experienced life to the fullest while meeting some of the greatest people that truly impacted his life.

James enjoyed watching sports, especially football, NASCAR racing, spending time with family and friends, and cooking with family.
