Justin has been a Student Pastor in Gaston County for 21 years, leading students and families to a Gospel-centered and unwavering relationship with Christ. Born in LA, lower Alabama, he moved to North Carolina at the age of ten. Justin and his wife, Shan, have been married for 24 years and they live in Dallas, NC with their two daughters, Lanie and Maddie.

Justin received his BS in Business Administration with a Major in Finance from UNCC. After several years in the secular business world, he accepted the call to full-time ministry and is pursuing his MA in Pastoral Studies from Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary. He loves sports, especially football (watching) and golf (playing). His favorite season of the year is fall because it means two things: being a passionate Alabama football fan and deer hunter. There are not very many days that go by without Justin saying, Roll Tide!
