His time with the MTSU Band of Blue from 2010 to 2013 further honed his skills as both a musician and performer.

Outside of music, Justin enjoys spending time with his wife, Brooke, and two boys, Jameson and Jackson and playing video games. He believes in fostering a supportive and creative environment where students can thrive and develop their unique voices.
