About Justin

Justin’s passion and commitment to change extends to his efforts to be of service to other men struggling for meaning and belonging in their lives. Growing up with his competitive bodybuilder father, processed-food addicted mother, and inundated with media images and cultural pressure to be “ripped,” Justin healed to overcome these forces. Justin found peace and now enjoys a wholehearted life kiteboarding, hiking with his family, running, and cycling.

Justin's debut memoir RIPPED captures his journey and search for meaning, belonging, and identity, within the confines of a family caught in our body-obsessed culture and  processed industrial food system.
