I’m Justin—the guy people call when they need big ideas to actually happen. With 6 Emmy Awards and 16 Promax statues (yes, I do bring them up a lot), I’ve built my career helping broadcasters and commercial clients turn ambitious visions into standout content. Think of me as your executive producer and creative director rolled into one. Whether we’re building a brand, launching a campaign, or producing something wild and unexpected, I’m here to make the impossible possible.Outside of work, I’m a proud dad to two amazing kids who are as fun, passionate, and creative as they come. I’m a tequila enthusiast currently branching out into the world of scotch and bourbon, a lover of nature and design, and a self-proclaimed world’s biggest God of War fan. Creativity doesn’t clock out for me—it’s just part of who I am, whether I’m on set, hiking a trail, or leveling up in Midgard.
