Bio

Justin predominantly grew up in the North East (NY/CT), playing club soccer at a very early age for a Westchester, NY club soccer team. Justin’s club was one of the top teams to beat in the US, winning multiple international tournaments, NY state championships, and frequented the regional qualifiers.
Justin was heavily recruited to play for Division I college teams in the North East, and settled on Bucknell University, where they reached the finals of the Patriot League Finals his freshman year, losing to Army (West Point) in OT. Justin was one of 2 starting freshmen in his rookie year. 2 years later, and after a number of injuries, Justin decided to transfer to Miami University and played for their 3-time National Champion Club soccer team.
Justin spent 20 years in NYC, working for Investment Banks before moving to Austin in 2019 with his Austin-native wife and 2 NYC-born children. Both children have been in the FC Westlake Soccer program since 2019, with Justin coaching both their recreational and Junior Academy teams.
Justin is currently a Senior Partner for an Austin-based company that Engineers/Develops Energy Efficient Solutions for companies looking to lower their carbon footprint. He also runs his own stock market analytics business.
