About James R. MitchenerThe most prevalent piece of my life, the factor that plays into almost every decision, is that I'm a Third Culture Kid (TCK). To many, that means nothing. To some, it means everything.
A TCK is someone who was born in one country, but grew up in various other countries or cultures. They have lost the ability to identify with a single point along their travels as "home," and instead identify with various fragments of cultural elements from the places they've lived. My TCK upbringing led to the creation of Third Culture Kid Life, a collection that details the events of my life and the expeiences of an adult TCK. |
What I Do |
Currently, I'm the Marketing Manager at Waste Industries. That's where it starts. I also work with 36North, a lifestyle apparel company, as an owner and operator. I work with GAFF Magazine too, a coastal Florida fishing magazine. When I'm not touching those projects, I'm working with my consultancy firm which my partner and I founded in 2011, Eolas Group, which specializes in full service management and strategy for small to medium sized businesses.

What Drives Me |
I have an unquenchable thirst for knowledge, almost to a crippling degree. I am driven by the idea of sharing thoughts and ideas, regardless of the avenue, in hopes to strengthen the collective knowledge of our species. My life is based in quantifiable data, on the testable and the provable, and that drive to prove facts and spread knowledge is what makes me want to learn more, to prove more, to do better, each and every day.
