James Jenner
James spent many years in the retail wine business learning from the ground up the different varietals and processes of making wine. And, most importantly, the impact that terroir has on making a great bottle of wine.
After training at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA ), Jim returned to the States to work regionally at Arena Stage, Delaware Rep, and Pan Asian Rep. In 1988, he co-founded The Oasis Theatre Company with Brenda Lynn Bynum, He is eternally grateful to have had the honor of portraying kings, beggars, crooks, savants, and harlequins in the East Village of NYC, upstate NY, and currently in our new home in Corrales, New Mexico. In addition, he has interviewed and recorded teachings of Maya elders in Guatemala. With Recorded Books and Brick Shop Audio, Jim has recorded more than 80 fiction and non-fiction books.
Mission Blend has been a lifelong dream of his, and he is excited for it to come to fruition. Pun intended.
