Justin started playing guitar when he was ten years old; after developing an interest in country music & the music of Jimi Hendrix. He began taking private guitar lessons from a neighbor for three years; & it was during this time his teacher noted his possession of perfect pitch. After three years of playing, Justin began providing guitar & bass lessons as a means to complete the required forty community service hours to graduate to high school.
Once Justin was in high school, he became heavily involved in the school's band program; participating in the marching band, jazz band, concert band, & drum-line; earning him the Patrick S. Gilmore award in his sophomore year. After taking courses for guitar, piano, & music theory, he devised an independent study course based on composition techniques ranging from Baroque to modern styles. As well as continuing to give private guitar & bass lessons, Justin also played in multiple bands outside of school; ranking top placement regularly in annual Battle of The Bands competitions, with two first-place nominations.
In 2011 Justin began his final stage of higher education at Berklee College of Music; majoring in Guitar Performance. While completing his studies at Berklee, he still played in bands regularly; sharing bills with national touring acts such as Lynyrd Skynyrd, ZZ Top, Puddle of Mudd, Jackyl, and Stryper, to name a few.
