Founder, Project Consultant

James M. Eastman founded Colophon in January 2003 to develop internet-based products and provide web services including website design and development, website maintenance, hosting, web marketing and custom web application design and programming.

James Eastman brought eight years of international classroom teaching experience to Colophon, with academic training in computer science, professional experience developing electronic products for the educational market, and fluency in the Spanish language. He started his web career at Oxford University Press (OUP), Oxford, England where he worked for a year and a half as Internet Controller, creating learning media for their Online Resources Department. Prior to joining OUP, James spent the 2000-2001 academic year earning a M.S. in Computer Science, Interactive Multimedia, from the University of Westminster, London.

After graduating from the University of Massachusetts with a B.A. in Political Science (minor in Spanish), James worked for Readak Educational Services for one year, teaching Reading and Study Skills. That position took him to Caracas, Venezuela where he stayed for five years to teach social studies to middle school students at the Escuela Campo Alegre. He left Venezuela in 1998 to accept a position at the American School in London where he taught high school history courses for two years.

In 2025, James took a step back from the day-to-day business of Colophon, and supports the team in a consulting role, utilizing his 20+ years of experience to be a great resource for our customers.

James lives with his wife and children in Charleston, SC.
