Working professionally with younger generations for over ten years, Justin is still exploring his love of teaching the arts, personal training, and wellness coaching in New York City and across the country.

When Justin is not balancing his careers in the performing arts, education, and physical wellness, he can be found reading at the nearest coffeehouse or potentially binge eating Sour Patch Kids whilst hiking in nature.
