His diverse expertise reflects his dynamic nature and relentless drive to excel in every aspect of life.

Justin is also a proud father to Zion, who inspires much of his creativity, and he is preparing to welcome his second child, Zoe Allison. A devoted family man, Justin draws strength and motivation from his children as he continues to push boundaries and share his talents with the world.
