Around the Mountain - Greetings, an Introduction from LJ James!

FREEHOLD — I have been writing for the Mountain Eagle and Schoharie News, for a few months now, and I thought it was probably a good time to introduce myself to everyone.

I am LJ James, I have been a freelance writer for over 30 years. I have had articles and stories published in magazines and papers all over the world.

I am also a DJ/MC, and had a hit Radio show on Long Island. I also had a very successful Entertainment Company for many years on LI.

Between writing and radio, I was fortunate to be able to meet and interview many very cool celebrities over the years, some even still remember me!

In my spare time, I used to also work as an extra on TV shows, filmed in the NYC area. If you ever get the chance to be an extra, go for it, they are always looking for people and it is a lot of fun.

I left Long Island in January of 2016 and moved to the Catskills in the Greene County Area, and now own a home here.

I am still a freelance writer and DJ , just on a smaller scale these days. I DJ and MC events and charity events, many at the Blackthorne Resort in East Durham, where I am also the official Emcee for The Catskill Mountain Thunder Motorcycle Festival.

I had been writing a lot less the past few years, but lately the passion is back. I only write positive stories, and I am always looking for people and places that give off welcoming and positive vibes.

I am also a proud member of "Red Barn Riders RC" a 501c3, AMA, Charity Riding Club. The Red Barn Riders RC, looks for people and causes in need, in our area and helps out many people every year.

We do charity events, we attend charity events and we help others put on charity events.

I have lived all over NY State in my lifetime, mostly on Long Island and in the Rochester area. I have now made Greene County and the Catskill area my home, I love being here.

I have always lived my life, with the belief that it is every person's job, to help make the area they live in, the best area it can be!

Many people know me as the "OH Yeah Guy" as it is something I have been saying since I started doing Radio many many years ago. It's an interesting story, feel free to ask. If you see me around the area please say Hello ! If you would also like to help make our area a better place, then follow me on Facebook, where I post many fundraisers and events that help others in our area!

I am Your Bro, LJ James and I will see you "Around The Mountain"
