James Cooper
Council MenberJames R. Cooper is a
Business Strategist, Co-Founder and Managing
Director of Maxser Consulting Group, LLC, Pastor of
Restoration International Christian Ministries and
author of From Crackers to Caviar.
James is also a Goodwill Ambassador for UNESCO
United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural
Organization.
James' professional
journey spans over 25 years and began with the
privilege of serving in the US Air Force as a
Security Policeman and Military Working Dog Handler.
Transitioning from the military back to the
civilian world, tests your commitment, adaptability
and resolve. An unexpected encounter led to a
position as a security officer, and his corporate
climb. God used that position as the door that has
allowed James to manage multimillion dollar budget
portfolios for several Fortune 500 corporations in a
number of varying operational roles. While living in
Charlotte, NC a new opportunity offered itself, in
the IT field. With a change of direction and
reduction in pay, he pressed into the new field and
excelled to the point where he again led
multimillion dollar projects as a Project and
Program Manager.
Knowing there was still
more to do; James was called to counsel, coach and
teach uncommon leaders. This seemed difficult to
imagine, but when God ordains a thing, it is done.
With much prayer, worship and fasting, Restoration
International Christian Ministries was launched at
the beginning of 2010 and the book From Crackers
to Caviar was published at the end of 2010.
Each of the doors God has opened, with Governors,
Ambassadors, Public and Private Business
Professionals or Ministry leaders, James message of
success and clarity of thinking has uniquely
equipped him to assists in breaking through barriers
to even higher levels of success.
James brings his many
talents to ACTS serving on the Advisory Council,
working with management to further opportunities
presently available.
