About James

After graduating from St. John’s University in Minnesota (’95), with a degree in communications, James worked as a financial planner, broker and retirement specialist for top financial companies including Charles Schwab and The Vanguard Group. He then joined Cynthia in real estate and together they ran their own company at Desert Mountain for more than 10 years before joining Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty at Desert Mountain. In his life in the entertainment industry as a singer/songwriter, music publisher and actor, James has opened for national music acts, written original compositions for film, radio and television and even landed the lead role in a full length movie. At Desert Mountain’s “The Trails”, 2018-19 will be the 7th year the Kolander’s have hosted the semi-annual “Kolander Mountain Jam”, a live music concert in the spectacular Sonoran mountain setting.
