James Vani developed an early interest in self-employment because he was raised in an entrepreneurial family. His adventure started when he worked alongside his father on construction sites, when he discovered his love for real estate. His curiosity took him into the field of mortgage lending, where he developed his expertise for more than ten years. James afterwards made a return to the construction business, where he managed a number of general contracting companies serving the residential and commercial markets. He is a major player in the market thanks to his combination of real estate and banking experience. He is currently in charge of Prestige Group's Commercial Construction division in Downers Grove, Illinois.
