He is of Korean background, but sometimes jokes about being half-Mennonite (due to his many modern Menno friends) or half-German (due to his parents meeting there). He considers himself culturally more as a \u201cbruised-Banana\u201d -part \u201cyellow\u201d (on the outside), part \u201cwhite\u201d (on the inside), with a mish-mash in between. He is 43-years young, but due to those Korean genes, he definitely doesn\u2019t look it! Part of his vocation is being a public-school special education teacher at the middle school level. When asked about what that\u2019s like, he is quick to respond, \u201cIt\u2019s never boring!\u201d By not shying away from pain, doubt nor difficult questions, James\u2019 Christian faith has been shaped within community and by various life experiences-especially painful and difficult ones, both within his life and others\u2019 lives. He enjoys many things including his friends, sports, reading, the arts (various kinds) and the outdoors, and has had the opportunity to travel to a number of places in his life, including living and volunteering in Haiti for one year. His Korean name means \u201cbroad-minded\u201d (not \u201cbig-headed&#8221; Drew!), so he is often open to new and different experiences and learning. Over the last few years, he has been progressing with his cooking, and eats pretty much anything, with a particular weak-spot for chips. While James generally likes to plan ahead and have some structure in his life, he has also been known to be spontaneous and open to new things (e.g. applying to Amazing Race Canada, and to Drew\u2019s Dating Game!). He generally just enjoys life and tries to make the most of it!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>James has just won A FREE 1 year subscription to ChristianMingle AND\u2026<\/strong> after Drew &amp; Tim The Tool help him find the best possible match, we\u2019ll pick up the tab for an exquisite date night out on the town with HOPEFULLY that special someone!
