Get to Know James Taggart
James is the youngest of eight kids and grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio. He was a competitive tennis player and received a small scholarship to play for a college in Florida. He stayed in Florida upon graduating with a degree in economics and finance.
James has one amazing child, his son Liam, who now resides in Washington state after being born and raised in Orlando. James had Liam in seventeen countries by the time he turned seventeen years old. Liam is proving to be an adventurer as an adult, just turning twenty-one in July 2024.
James trained as a student and instructor at the Martial Arts Center for Health in Orlando from 1993 until 2023 when he moved to the Chesapeake while fulfilling a lifelong dream of living on a boat. He currently resides on H2 007 in National Harbor where he has started his charter business, sharing his passion for sailing with those who are welcomed on board.
The James Bond impersonating began in 2011(look-a-like Daniel Craig) and has been the ride of a lifetime, working in seven countries and thirty-four states to date. Las Vegas is the most frequent working site as it is somewhat the mecca for lookalikes. James has done TV shows, commercials, charity fundraisers, corporate events, tradeshows and private parties. Once his charter business is fully established he will begin offering a James Bond experience aboard H2 007 in Washington DC.
