Justin was born and raised outside of Knoxville, TN, where he learned to love God, music and the Tennessee Volunteers. He accepted Christ as his savior in the 7th grade, and grew to love Him more and more throughout high school. He felt the call to ministry while he attended East Tennessee State University. During this time, he also met his wife and best friend, Mandy, while working as summer staff at Ridgecrest Conference Center. He attended Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Wake Forest, NC, and has served churches in TN, TX, WV, and NC. Justin loves spending time with Mandy and his three children Shelby (8) Holden (6) and Lincoln (5), either outdoors or watching anything Star Wars / Marvel related.
