Justin is a native New Yorker, born and raised in Queens, NY. He remembers dreaming of working with animals since the age of four! His love of animals was confirmed by his family’s love of pets, having owned many dogs, frogs, turtles, and fishes. His very first job after high school was at the Animal Hospital of the Rockaways where he worked, while he graduated from LaGuardia Community College and John Jay College.

In his spare time, when he’s not working, he enjoys traveling exploring different Islands and continents with his friends and family as well as spending time at the gym.
