About Justin
I grew up in a small business household in Alaska and launched my first business at 6 years old buying bulk candy and reselling individual pieces to my classmates. Since then, I’ve been fortunate enough to serve my country in the military, earn an MBA from the University of Michigan, and coach my kids in rugby and football. Professionally, I’ve learned and led in multiple functions across the chemicals, financial services, e-commerce, and tech industries.
