James Webb began his career as a radiologic technologist in his home state of Mississippi before moving to Dallas in 1983 to take a job as Director of Radiology at a local hospital. After 13 years working on executive teams for various medical imaging companies, James founded Paradigm Healthcare in 1996, the first of many companies he would go on to found and establishing himself as a key leader in the industry.
After more than 40 years in the medical field, James turned his focus to the fitness sector and created one of the largest OrangeTheory franchises in the country, with over 33 facilities across North Texas. He now endeavors to develop and open multiple BeBalanced Centers throughout Dallas, Fort Worth, and Austin, and has entered into a franchise agreement with Scenthound to develop 10-20 stores in the Dallas market.
