Dr. James Alvis grew up in a military family, moving around the world with his parents, both of whom served in the U.S. Air Force. He enlisted in the U.S. Air Force during the Vietnam War and received training as a Czechoslovakian linguist/interrogator specialist at the Defense Language Institute in California. Following this, he became a cryptologist at Goodfellow Air Force Base in Texas and later served on an AWAC plane, monitoring military radio broadcasts for U.S. intelligence.

After his service, Dr. Alvis worked in Germany before returning to the U.S. to complete his college education. He graduated with a B.S. degree in clinical psychology from East Tennessee State University. In 1976, he returned to California, where he has lived since. Later, he became a chiropractor after experiencing the benefits of chiropractic care for a sports injury. During his practice, he treated commercial truck drivers, which piqued his interest in working with them due to his cousin's involvement in commercial trucking.
