An intuitive “fixer” who thinks fast and effectively, Justin forged his legal practice as a federal prosecutor and Marine JAG shortly after 9/11. Justin became a sought-after advisor to senior military officers where he prosecuted felony cases earning the reputation—according to one of his awards—“as one of the premier litigators in the Marine Corps.” Justin’s success and commitment to service continued when he transitioned to one of the largest law firms in the country. During his tenure, Justin broke the mold to make partner based on his ability to fuse business and legal strategy to empower companies around the world. He loves sharing strategies with startups and serves as a popular mentor at the world’s largest pre-seed accelerator, Founder Institute.

As a Marine veteran, Justin has become a powerful voice for veterans both as the founder of a military and military-spouse focused venture capital fund, and his experience building the country’s largest non-profit transition institute to serve Navy SEALs and special-operations personnel. In addition to serving veterans, Justin is particularly passionate about supporting families impacted by autism. Justin founded a technology company that provides families with strategies and a care plan to better navigate their journey.
