Hi there. I’m Justin. Originally from a small town in Ohio just east of Cincinnati, I’ve traversed across the midwest to Indianapolis and then Chicago. After 12 years in the Windy City, my husband and I relocated to Denver, Colorado, in early 2023. I am a music and pop culture fanatic, practice yoga, voraciously eat sushi as often as possible, and try to stay fit through running, cycling, hiking, and weight training. Boring, I know.
I once produced and co-hosted a podcast with one of my best friends for a year to learn how it was done. That’s my M.O. Let my curiosity drive me to find and solve highly complex problems.
I’m an introvert by nature but can pass for an extrovert when necessary.
Work makes most people want to pull their hair out, so I think it’s important always to have fun, take dance breaks, and enjoy what you do.
If I could emote only through animated .gifs, I would.
Want to connect? Please message me on LinkedIn. I’m available for fractional leadership roles in CX or Marketing, consulting opportunities, or career support/guidance.

Justin,
I just read your article “Fine with Fired: Closed Doors and Open Opportunities” on Primer Magazine. I was just recently laid off and I was wondering if you had any advice on finding a new job?
Thanks,
Brad
Hi Brad,
One of the things I did to supplement my own networking and job search was to contact staffing agencies to help line up either short-term or temp-to-perm positions that were within the wheelhouse of my skill sets. Try searching for specialized agencies that can service industries or specific roles that you might be qualified for. Outside of that, let people know that you’re in the market for new opportunities and tap into your personal networks (LinkedIn, Facebook, etc.) to let people know you’re available asap.
Hope that helps. Just keep the faith and know that it does suck, but this may be a next step to something better.
Justin
