EXPERIENCE:
Throughout his adult years, Justin has been deeply involved in the human services sector. His professional journey kicked off by
working with at-risk youth in Nebraska, providing crucial support and mentorship to young individuals facing diverse challenges. After moving to
Oregon, he worked with not-for-profit and Department of Veterans Affairs working alongside individuals experiencing homelessness.
Upon moving to Kansas in 2013, Justin worked at the Department of Corrections in Kansas for a state prison providing case

Due to his desire to better serve the community he lived in, Justin transitioned employment to a community medical clinic and
private practice providing mental health services in Lawrence KS.
