He taught school in Bernice, Louisiana, Andrews School in Madison Parish and Crowville High School where he retired after teaching 22 years. He genuinely loved and respected all of his ag boys. After retiring from teaching, James Marvin held various other jobs, i.e. Corp Insurance Federation, Tensas Wildlife Federation, farming, custom hay bailing and a partner in BoDoc Welding Co. He was very active in all phases of the sport of rodeo, entering the competition himself for many years. He taught his two sons the sport of rodeo with each one going on to become national champions in their respective events.
