Turner, James and Ewanta

James grew up in residential construction with his father. Later he worked for several years in commercial construction as a superintendent building several churches, banks, and finished his career in more industrial type construction. James describes his technical education:
"During the last few years in commercial construction, I taught myself AutoCad and after leaving Arkansas I worked for several years doing CAD drafting for various architects creating finished working drawings. I also taught myself 3D Max and did several architectural renderings and animations. This work benefited me in learning programs that I use in creating some of our craft work. I have pretty much been self taught in most everything I’ve done. I would buy books and study what I was wanting to learn. I would talk to people that I thought were knowledgeable about what I was learning and try to take the best advice from each and put it with what I was doing. Now you can learn just about anything on the internet and YouTube. I’m always wanting to learn new things and new ways of doing things. I’ve often said that I don’t think I’ll live long enough to learn all that I would like to."
