Justin's passion for justice and his unwavering dedication to the community earned him numerous accolades and commendations throughout his career.

Justin left law enforcement full-time in 2021 and then again in 2023 after getting back in for a short time. Since then, he has been on a path towards helping the victims of the system. Justin realized that working within the system, he was engaged in an uphill battle as he fought officials ranging from police chiefs, district attorneys, district judges, police officers, and more. Justin stood up for many victims, but it did not come without despair. Justin has been fired for standing up against corruption and misconduct. Despite facing opposition and criticism from those within the system, he remains steadfast in his mission to create a more just and equitable society. He continues to use his skills and experience to bring attention to the issues that plague the criminal legal system and to advocate for meaningful change.
