Justin graduated with a Bachelor's of Science degree in Business Administration from John Brown University in 2007, where he also played collegiate soccer and was a 2X recipient of the Daktronics NAIA Scholar-Athlete Award. Upon graduation, the door that opened for Justin wasn't in the corporate sector, however, it was in ministry. In 2008, Justin was asked to help launch and lead a new campus of LifeChurch.tv in the growing community of Owasso, OK, where he served as Worship Pastor for nearly 6 years.

After his time in ministry, he decided to pursue a career in financial services. Having witnessed his father, Randy, approach his practice as a ministry for nearly 30 years, Justin was inspired to pursue a career where he could put others first, and help them work towards their highest financial potential.

Justin resides in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, with his beautiful wife of almost 10 years, Breanne, and their two daughters, Lylah and Penelope. When he isn't working with clients, he enjoys date nights with Breanne, game nights with his family, and nature walks and fishing with his daughters. He also still remains heavily involved in playing music by playing Keys at BattleCreek Church in Broken Arrow, OK.
