| Info | Born and raised on the southeast side of Cleveland, Justin has experienced many of the challenges we face as a city firsthand.
He grew up quickly when his parents got divorced at the age of four and learned how to navigate multiple worlds, moving between his Dad’s home and living with his mom and grandma.
His family struggled to make ends meet — forced to choose between paying rent and tuition, they moved into their Grandma’s home, always putting education first.
When Justin’s mom finished school, she could barely read or write, but she turned her life around and was the first in their family to graduate from college - now she’s a social worker.
His late father was a Navy diver and served as one of the first African American first responders in Cleveland Heights, working as a firefighter and special police officer for over 30 years. He had a tireless work ethic, working a shift at the fire station, sleeping a few hours and then working another shift in the special police force, patrolling places like Beachwood mall, Cuyahoga Community College, and Cleveland Clinic.
As the son of a social worker and first responder, he was raised to put others first, even when they were struggling themselves.
