Early life[edit]

Childhood and family[edit]

James Niu Wolfgramm was born on September 24th, 1978 in Inglewood, California, a suburb of Los Angeles. His parents, Semisi and Paea, emigrated from the Polynesian country of Tonga to the United States in 1974. His father, Semisis Niu, started in the oil business but soon switched into the lucrative import/export business and founded Semisi and Sons Express (SS Express) and then MK Express in 2014. Among their biggest clients is Apple Computers. His mother, Paea Finau Niu, was a stay at home mom who was active with her four sons and daughter. James is the first born and his younger siblings include Grace, Howard, Enoch, and John.

James grew up in a rough neighborhood of Los Angeles and witnessed more than his share violence and death. Always a bright child, James graduated from Francisco Bravo Medical Magnet High School in 1995 at the age of 16. While in high school, he excelled in the sciences and participated in soccer, football, and basketball. As a young man, James learned karate and the martial arts. At his mother’s urging he also learned to play numerous instruments. He also was a speech champion and participated in the Boy Scouts eventually becoming an Eagle Scout after completing his Eagle Scout Project which was painting Hawthorne Recreational Park in the city of Hawthorne, CA.

Education[edit]

He began his college career by attending Cal State Northridge for one year before transferring to the University of Southern California where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Biomechanical/Medical Engineering in 2000.

In 2005, he continued his education at the Australian Institute of Applied Sciences in Brisbane, Australia where he earned a Master of Computer Applications (M.C.A.), Kinesiology and Exercise Science in 2007. It was during his time in Australia that he started to focus on technology and oncology and developing an innovative solution of technical sport biomechanical software. By merging technology together with science he was searching for an innovative solution that pushed the envelope on disruptive technologies.

Business career[edit]

His father and grandfather were both successful businessmen, so at the age of 20, James followed in their footsteps by becoming an entrepreneur and starting SS Expressway, an import/export business, in Rancho Dominguez with a Container Freight Station (CFS) warehouse located just a few miles from the Port of Long Beach; the second largest port in the United States.

Container Freight Storage Warehouses are bonded facilities that act as temporary storage for goods that are entering and leaving the country. The business was very successful and by the age of 22 he was a multimillionaire. With his new found personal wealth, James went on a reckless spending spree buying cars and other luxury items. In the end, it was a failure of personal accounting that caused his import/export business to tank.

Inniuvative Solutions Inc. CEO

Inniuvative Biometric Healthcare Corporation

Cancer is among the leading causes of death worldwide. There were 18.1 million new cases and more than 9.5 million cancer-related deaths worldwide in 2018. By 2040, the number of new cancer cases per year is expected to rise to nearly 30 million and cancer-related deaths rising to about 16.5 million.

Oncology is a branch of medicine that deals with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer. From a molecular standpoint cells communicate between synapses and when they misfire it causes mutations and those mutations cause cancer. If the information is not properly disseminated then cellular mitosis results in mutations from imperfect copies.

James’ life calling has been to help find a cure for cancer. To that end, he developed patent pending technologies that provide cutting edge wearable solutions that have sports and healthcare applications. The technology can assist with oncology by utilizing a wristband with biometric sensors.

The wristband injected nanomites and the person’s vital signs were transcribed to the wristband. The wristband’s technology is designed to allow Oncologists to be able to monitor cell mutations. The goal of the treatment would be to deliver the nanodoses directly to the precise location of the cell mutation killing the cancer without harming the healthy cells surrounding it.

In 2015, President Obama announced the Precise Medicine Initiative which helped technology companies to start focusing on proper pharmaceutical drugs being delivered to infected areas of the body. The nanotechnology that James helped create has helped deliver the treatments precisely where they were needed.

The treatment is promising, to be able to move forward, James has to raise $5 million to obtain the proper licenses from the FDA and pay for additional research studies on the technology conducted by oncologists to prove the treatment.

Other Business Ventures[edit]

To fund his life’s calling, James has created numerous other businesses to be able to self-fund cancer treatments that will help all of mankind. In essence, he is creating wealth so he does not have to seek outside investors who would want control of his business and projects.

Syncrementum[edit]

As a subsidiary of Inniuvative Solutions, he started a mobile app division utilizing his Masters in Computer Application to help clients create websites and mobile apps for gaming. In 2014, he also started using those skills as a music promoter and earned the nickname “The Wolf of Music” for his work with powerhouse Indie recording label Hood and Associates on a number of projects for recording artists such as Mally Mall and Dog Pound Records. He also worked with Grammy Award Winning Producer Poo Bear with 13 Crowns' song “Grateful” which generated more than 2 million streams. As part of his social media and marketing program, Syncrementum built proprietary software to find the people that a business wants, and bring them to their social media handles. The automated software is designed to rapidly help drive traffic to client’s sites, increase followers, build an audience to hundreds of thousands of new followers, and make increasing social media engagement easy.

Publisher of LDG Magazine[edit]

Long Drive Golf (LDG) Magazine produced a monthly magazine that not only was high quality, but also had informative content for the Long Drive Community and its fans. The digital magazine was created to increase more awareness for the sport of Long Drive and provide positive public relations for the community. To provide excellent content and information, a team of excellent golf writers, hall of fame contributors, current contenders, and coaches was assembled. With the magazine, the editor of the magazine worked closely with Golf Channel to incorporate world class photography into the magazine. The following of the magazine grew to over 60,000. James and Bitex also sponsored World Long Drive Champions Maurice Allen (2018) and Phillis Meti (2006, 2016, & 2018). Phillis Meti also holds the women’s world record with a drive of 413 yards.

Bitex[edit]

Bitex is a bitcoin mining company. Back in 2012, it was relatively easy to generate bitcoin with a handful of laptops, desktops, and Raspberry Pie machines. As time went on, it became increasingly more difficult to generate bitcoin. To solve this problem, James created specialized hardware that processed cryptocurrency transactions to help simplify the process of Bitcoin mining. The next stage of his business was assembling a large-scale bitcoin mining operation

involving banks of thousands of dedicated machines completing the calculations that drive blockchain technology. Bitex became a wholesaler of electronics hardware that enabled Bitcoin mining. For a number of years, the business flourished and Bitcoin mining became more and more lucrative as Bitcoin was trading at historic highs.

In 2017, the value of Bitcoin peaked at $19,641 before dropping to around $3,300 within a year. It was about that time that the Bitcoin Mining industry received increased scrutiny from regulatory agencies. Some people even suggested that Bitex was a scam and that James had committed fraud and other crimes. In the ensuing legal case, Wolfgramm’s attorneys were able to prove through the use of bank records, a forensic audit, that he was not guilty of any wrongdoing. In fact, the immutable ledger of blockchain technology also showed that his accuser failed to make important disclosures to the hedge fund that he managed.

Trilithons, Inc[edit]

Wolfgramm is the CEO of Trilithons Inc., a privately-owned company affiliated with Ohana Bank, Kingdom of Tonga. The company’s goal is to ensure a safer and better life for the people of the Pacific Nations. During the Covid pandemic, the company distributed their powerful, three- month, persistent disinfectant to several Pacific Island Nations. The move helped ensure that the Pacific Island Nations were safe to reopen their economies following the pandemic.

Freemasonry[edit]

James became a member of the Scottish Rite FreeMasonry in 1999. He is a member of Marcus Garvey Lodge 323 and is currently a 32nd degree Mason & Shriner. He credits the FreeMasonry for providing him with higher knowledge, a moral compass that makes him be accountable for the mistakes that he has made with the goal of resolving the mistake without diminishing relationships. He adds that Freemasonry has made him a better man with humble humility that comes from understanding and knowledge. He believes that without humility you can not have understanding.

Philanthropy[edit]

For the past 16 years, James Niu Wolfgramm has made millions from his Innovation Technology empire and his other investments. During that time he estimates that he has given more than $10,000,000 to charity. He has given extensively within the Polynesian community in Utah as well as to aid Tonga with shipments of 100,000 Honeywell masks and 100,000 boxes of PPE during the Covid crisis and following the eruption of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai Volcano earlier this year.

Personal Life[edit]

Marriage and children[edit]

He and his wife, Lupe Niu Wolfgramm, have been married for 12 years and have six children; three daughters Rachel, Paea, and Lena and three sons Eli, Titan, and King James. He is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

His maternal great grandfather Wolfgramm along with his four brothers emigrated to Tonga from Germany. His grandfather was a very successful business man in Tonga and had 31 children.

He was well-known around the world as an advisor to the King of Tonga and had many

flourishing businesses. The culture of Polynesian families is very family oriented, stressing respect for one’s elders and women. James chose to honor his maternal grandfather by adding his name as a sign of respect.

Because Polynesian families tend to be large, his extended family numbers in the thousands. His cousins include PGA Tour player Tony Finau, NBA basketball player Jabari Parker, and many first cousins played or are playing in the NFL including Haloti Ngata. He is also related to many of the professional wrestlers with Samonan ancestry (including The Rock, Roman Reigns, The Wild Samonas, Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka), and professional boxer Samson Po’ uha, and recording artists The Jets and 13 Crowns.
