He was born on January 13, 1959 in Louisville, Kentucky, to the late James Cox, and Evelyn May Kuchta.
James was born with speed in his veins. In his early teens he competed in speed skating in Louisville, Ky. Then, with his father Harold and friend Lamarr Marshalls help, he ventured into the ASA circuit.

Even reinforcing a truck for The Mandrells to dance on. He met and worked with many great people through the years and made many friends. But his greatest joy was becoming a father and grandfather.
