James Penn

James was born in Tripoli, Libya, but spent most of his life in Houston, Texas (Go ASTROS!), later earning his civil engineering degree from Texas A&M University. After spending more than 22 years working in the offshore oil and gas industry as a structural engineer, James along with his wife Michelle decided to relocate to Redding to be closer to her family and to enjoy the natural beauty and relaxed lifestyle that Northern California has to offer. In his free time, James’ hobbies include hiking, snow skiing, fishing, and woodworking, and he enjoys his job with Western Physical Therapy performing maintenance and new space development.
