James Christianson serves as president of Cap-Marin USA.  

James is a graduate of U.C. Berkeley, a former researcher at U.C. San Francisco and
a former Associate in Research at Harvard University.  Prior to founding Cap-Marin in
2004, James spent over 15 years with
Sun Microsystems Japan and Sun Asia-Pacific.

After planting a small backyard vineyard, James immersed himself into the study of
winegrape-growing and winemaking.  He has since studied in the viticulture and
enology program at
Napa Valley College, and he has worked in all areas of
winemaking - vineyard, lab and cellar operations - at Gundlach-Bundschu Winery,
Cline Cellars & Jacuzzi Family Winery in Sonoma, CA.  James currently conducts
laboratory analyses for Cline and Jacuzzi Wineries.  He also produces his own
"garage wine" - a blend of estate-grown (i.e., backyard) Petite Sirah and Zinfandel.


As a consultant, James provides sustainable solutions for businesses, vineyards and
wineries.  He has assisted
Kaiser Permanente, Disney, Autodesk, PG&E and
Comcast
with their reuse and recycling efforts, diverting waste from landfills and
managing donations of thousands of pieces of surplus office furniture and
equipment, computer systems and office supplies to Northern California schools and
non-profits.
