James Cribbs, KN4NEH, is a visionary in the ham radio community, driven by a passion to modernize and grow the hobby through innovative business ventures. He’s the founder and CEO of Ham Radio Prep, a user-friendly online education platform that has helped over 70,000 people in the U.S. earn their amateur radio licenses. James was inspired to create Ham Radio Prep after experiencing firsthand how outdated many learning resources were, and he built a solution that blends engaging video content with an intuitive user interface, making it easier for new operators to get licensed.

With a focus on accessibility, it bridges the gap between getting licensed and becoming an active member of the ham radio community. The World Radio League promises to transform contesting and event participation, with live leaderboards, analytics, and plans to introduce live-streamed contests and custom competitions, all designed to make ham radio more interactive and exciting. James embodies the kind of innovation ham radio needs. His efforts with Ham Radio Prep and World Radio League are paving the way for new operators to join, learn, and engage in the hobby, ensuring its future remains bright.
