James was born into a Catholic family and raised as a practising Catholic in the Federal Territory of Labuan.  He worked in the same company for 40 years before retiring in 2017. We know him to be a man of very few words unless provoked to speak! Always a man behind the scenes, he is reliable and trustworthy not only as a coworker, but more so, as a brother and friend.

His wife, Jocelyn, used to operate a consultancy company in Labuan and has now retired from professional practice. Besides the plethora of social works in which she has been involved over the past many years, she is utterly committed to service in the Church in various capacities. Besides holding a Master of Business Administration degree (Preston, USA), Jocelyn also holds a Master of Arts degree in Theology (CDU, USA) and a Diploma in Counseling Psychology (Singapore).

As Lay Advisors for the Splendour Project, James and Jocelyn provide valuable support and advice for our community on what it means to live one's lay vocation to its fullest potential.
