About Me
- James Blood
- I have practised law as a corporate attorney for over 20 years and am currently working as the general counsel for a private company in the San Francisco Bay Area. I received a B.A. in economics from Brigham Young University and an M.A. (international affairs) and a J.D. from The George Washington University. I don't intend to focus on any particular religion, although I may highlight some as relevant issues arise. I am not writing this blog in affiliation with any group or organization; this is entirely my blog and the views in it are my own. To contact me, send an email to jfblood@gmail.com.
