Early Life
At a young age, Justin’s father passed away and he and his brother were raised by their mom who worked as a nurse. He saw his mother struggle throughout the years, which made him realize later in life that he should’ve been a better child. He saw her as a role model – one of his fondest memories was when she taught him how to ride a horse. While his youth wasn’t in any way ideal, his mother taught him to respect people, and care for the things he loves.
At nine years of age he attended a street race, and the experience saw him discover his passion for racing as well as cars, and he began dreaming of becoming a street racer himself. After school, he would take a bike with friends to watch street races. A few years later, his family moved to Oklahoma, as the city was known for having a very strong street racing scene.

Street Racing Career
He worked his way to getting his first car, which was his dream – a 1972 Pontiac LeMans called “The Crow” – and he soon began working on customizing it to satisfy all of his wishes as well as his needs. According to him, every racer has a car that they’ll never throw away, and “The Crow” is his soft spot. He would grow to become one of the leaders of his street racing crew, and earn enough money to start his own business.
