james garriss - BIOGRAPHY

James began his career with The Browning Newsletter when he was four years old, photocopying jet stream maps from the stacks of various University of New Mexico libraries. Though born blind, his handicap would not keep him from helping in the family business. He would be part of the solution, not an additional problem. Now though still legally blind, he has managed and eventually owned Browning Media (formerly The Browning Newsletter) for 20 years. Starting as a blog writer and researcher James moved up in the company becoming the lead researcher, speaker and consultant over 11 years ago. When the company transitioned and became Browning Media LLC James became the acting Manager of the minority ownership’s stakes as well as the Director of Research and Development. He is now a Co-Owner of the company.

James has presented accurate climatological projections for a myriad of U.S. and international agricultural, financial, insurance and energy companies. When he isn’t presenting on weather and climate, he shares the wisdom of succeeding in business despite being visually disabled. Through humor and insightfulness, the audience can learn that seeing isn’t always the most important thing you can do. Through the last 20 years, James Garriss has helped others learn and understand weather and climate, and leading without needing to see.
