This site was a virtual pet game called SchooglePets that had reached about 5,000 registered users by the time of its closure due to hackings. James then dedicated the next few months to sharpening his programming and security skills to start his next project. This next project was also a Virtual Pet game that began production in early 2003 and was finish by May of that year. It was called Venetopia and quickly became very popular. This game was later acquired by Carriere Entertainment, Inc. in early 2004 when James decided he wanted to move out of the virtual pet business and go on to greater things.

Around the same time he began work on Venetopia, James also began work on a site that would become one of the gaming industry's leading sources for online games. Apex Web Gaming started small, but began to quickly grow and has never slowed down. In its path it has surpassed large sites of similar content that had been in the business many years before James had even used the internet.

Soon after the sale of Venetopia, James began making non-game related services such as Free Image Upload which grew very quickly, but later had to close because of advertising complications. Once This site and several other smaller ones were completed, James began his next game. In the summer of 2004 he began working on a large medieval strategy game called Eternal Kingdoms. This game went into beta testing on Christmas Eve of 2004 and did what most of James' sites have done, grow amazingly fast. James ran and expanded Eternal Kingdoms for the next 11 months when he then sold the site to Bored.com to provide more time and funds for his next few big projects that he began work on in the fall of 2005.

Now James is working on several large projects that will help to expand his portfolio in the online world and help to provide entertainment and useful services for the world.
