James Sanders

Aspiring writer/blogger

I was born in Oakland, CA, on April 4, 1987.  The elementary and middle schools I attended, were in Tracy, CA.  After moving to Bangor, CA, in 2001, I attended Las Plumas High School.  I graduated in 2005.  My wife and I were married in December 2009.  We have two wonderful girls, who are aged 8 and 4.  I began working for Sierra Pacific Packaging, as a general laborer, in 2009.  After 4 months, I was hired to a full time position, as a machine operator.  In 2011, the company I worked for was acquired by Graphic Packaging International, Inc.  I was promoted to Department Lead in January of 2013, which is my current position.  While I am very appreciative of the opportunities afforded to me by the company I work for, I have recently embarked on developing my writing skills, which is and has been a true passion of mine.  My hope is to eventually be able to transition completely away from the daily grind of my current field, and start down a new career path, as a writer.
