Hey there, I'm Justin
...and I'm super excited to share my Mentorship program with you. Whether you're diving into the world of design, navigating the IT field, or just trying to figure things out in this crazy world, I'm here to lend a hand in any way I can.
Resilience in Action
My Unconventional Path to Success
A little of my history. I grew up in the rugged landscapes of Montana, in a family that didn't have much. From an early age, I knew I saw things differently from those around me. Later on, I discovered I'm High-Functioning Autistic. Despite some tough times, including facing verbal, physical, and emotional abuse, I learned to bounce back. Instead of letting challenges knock me down, I tackled them head-on with a fire in my belly.
When I was 19, a serious car accident changed my life. I lost my left arm, had serious back trauma, and even lost the ability to walk for a while. But I refused to let the doctors tell me what I couldn't do. I carved my own path, pushing through obstacles rather than letting them hold me back.
My journey has taken me far beyond my small hometown in Montana. Despite dealing with Autism, Dyslexia, ADHD, and a physical disability, I've managed to carve out a pretty cool path for myself. From starting as a kid with limited opportunities to becoming an executive chef, diving into the fashion scene in NYC as a commercial photographer, working as a Senior Art Director for a global Tech Company, and now running my own business and consulting, I've seen it all.
