Hello, I’m Justin.
Musician
I’ve been writing and releasing music since 1999. Music is the primary way I process life, both as a listener and a writer. About music, author Anne Lamott writes that music “lets us meet in places we could not get to any other way.” I agree.
I deeply enjoy public teaching and storytelling. Whether I’m leading a workshop on the creative process or talking about global poverty, I value the opportunity to encourage, challenge and inspire as a speaker. Retreat leading offers me thee opportunity to speak more comprehensively into a tribe of people. Lastly, I particularly value the opportunity to speak on behalf of kids living in poverty and help connect them to sponsors through Compassion International. I have the pleasure of curating and hosting a series of thoughtful and interactive events called At Sea Events. The series aims to foster a fuller and more inspired engagement with the world by highlighting good, true and beautiful cultural works as well as the artists, thinkers, curators, politicians and culture makers responsible for them. This short trailer breaks down what the @ Sea Event series is about. “We are… like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea.” – C.S.
