Meet James and Learn About His Start at BLF!

How James Started at BLF

A few years ago, Russell’s mom was flying home from a trip. Her flights were delayed

over and over. Every time she updated Russell, his anxiety spiked. He wasn’t in Dallas, nor was his dad — so who would pick his mom up from the airport in the middle of the night? Russell was so worried about what could happen to his mom if she took a late-night Uber or taxi ride that he couldn’t sleep.

So, he called one of his oldest friends, James Cook, for help. “I started calling James,” Russell remembers. “He answered, got up in the middle of the night, went to the airport to pick up my mom, and made sure she got home safely — no questions asked. I have a million stories like that from throughout our lives. I can always rely on James, no matter what.”

Russell and James have been friends since second grade, and as of this June, they’re also coworkers! We’re thrilled to have James on the BLF team as our operations assistant.
