About James Mills
I am a Marine, professional negotiator, outstanding salesman, operations specialist, and best of all, a dad of two beautiful kids. With over 17 years of experience in pioneering new avenues to increase revenue and expand services in the M&E sector, I hold a Certified Equipment Appraiser (CEA/USPAP) certification and am a graduate of America\'s Auction Academy.My experiences as a Marine have taught me discipline, honor, courage, commitment, and dedication. Specializing in Unmanned Aerial Reconnaissance and Marksmanship Instruction, I earned several service medals, including the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal and the James Maguire Award.I believe that as long as you believe you can do something, you will accomplish it. It always amazes me what great men have in common: Vision. Seeing what they want and having a clear picture of how to achieve it every second of every day.Beyond my professional and military achievements, I am an avid student of Shaolin Wu Ling Xing Quan Fe, showcasing my dedication to continuous learning and personal development.
Experience

Feb 2026 — Present · Peoria, AZ, US
Junior Instructor at Shaolin Arts in Peoria, AZ—one of the nation’s most respected traditional Kung Fu schools. I assist with instruction in authentic Shaolin Kung Fu and Chen‑style Tai Chi, supporting students across skill levels while reinforcing strong fundamentals, discipline, and practical martial applications.Founded in 1992, Shaolin Arts is known for preserving the five‑animal Shaolin system and classical Tai Chi under the leadership of Shi Bo Chris Workman, who brings over 30 years of teaching experience. In my role, I help uphold these traditions, contribute to a focused and respectful training environment, and continue developing my own technical and leadership skills within a lineage‑based martial arts community.
