As hands-on problem-solver and lifelong learner, Justin enjoys fixing, repairing, and building most anything. Outside of work and board service, he loves traveling, being outdoors, cooking, exploring good food, and spending time with his wife and four children. He believes that life’s challenges are not just obstacles, but opportunities for God to shape, prepare, and work through him for His kingdom.
