About Patrick James
Patrick James is an inspirational speaker and coach with 28 years of experience. Until age nine, he was unable to speak due to spinal meningitis that paralyzed his throat and vocal cords.

He graduated from college with honors, earning a place on the Dean's List, and became a self-made multi-millionaire who retired before age 40. He is the Founder and President of "The Patrick James IMPACT" and has taught his "Never Give Up attitude" system at over 1,100 conferences to audiences as large as 80,000 people.
