Justin started his journalism career after graduating in 2011 from the University of Massachusetts, where he studied journalism, political science and history. During his education, he wrote for the school's student newspaper, was a member of the marching band, and was president of the UMass chapter of Kappa Kappa Psi, a music service fraternity.

After completing internships in Washington D.C. and at masslive.com, Justin decided to pursue a career in online journalism. He wrote for both print and for the web at the Community Advocate, a weekly paper in central Massachusetts, before joining Patch. 

Interested in a variety of multimedia tools including video, photography, slideshows and podcasting, Justin is always looking for new ways to bring a story to the audience. 

In his free time, Justin enjoys skiing, hiking, coffee, craft beer, and reading books (the paper kind).
