James Peth

James Peth is a personal caregiving and support opportunity in Fort Collins, Colorado, created by James Peth, a nutrition professor at Colorado State University who has lived with a C5 spinal cord injury since 1999. Living independently in Old Town Fort Collins with assistance from a small care team, James is looking to add one or two people to support him at home, at work, and in the community. He manages the team’s scheduling, inventory, and other arrangements, while seeking caregivers who can work with initiative and help the team run independently.

The website offers prospective caregivers practical information about the role, including a description of the help needed and an account of what a typical day involves. Candidates can apply directly through the site. James presents the work as a personal alternative to agency shift work, grounded in respectful relationships and everyday support. He values good food, music, meaningful conversation, and helping people grow, and hopes to work with people whose skills and personalities are a good fit.
