Justin spent his childhood playing in the outdoors, and when he started climbing things just got better.  As an athlete in high school, he found that climbing and mountaineering gave him plenty of athletic challenges, and allowed him to spend time in the mountains he loves. 

Justin began guiding on Mount Rainier in 1999 and now shares his passion for the mountains on trips all over the world.  When not guiding,  he enjoys climbing, running, cycling, skiing and also being lazy.
