Justin holds a Master of Accountancy degree from the University of Missouri and began his professional career as a Certified Public Accountant at KPMG, serving SEC-reporting and private equity-backed clients before transitioning to the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission, where he managed financial and regulatory compliance audits of large financial institutions.
Parallel to his accounting career, he has been a licensed real estate agent for nearly 15 years and has built a long-standing real estate investment track record, acquiring, financing, repositioning, and managing properties through his investment entities.
With nearly two decades of experience across public accounting, federal financial regulation, real estate investment, and brokerage, Justin’s background blends institutional financial discipline with entrepreneurial execution, a combination that defines Momentum’s analytical, risk-managed approach to development.
He is also a decorated veteran of the Missouri Army National Guard, where he served as a Military Police Officer and deployed to Baghdad, Iraq, earning the Purple Heart and Army Commendation Medal. The discipline, work ethic, and structured leadership developed during his service continue to shape his approach to business.
Justin is a devoted husband and father to three beautiful daughters. When not running between soccer, basketball, swim, choir, student council, and other events, he and his family enjoy traveling, skiing, golfing, and spending time outdoors with their labradoodles, Sam and Lucy.
