Justin knows what its like to be a teen.  He grabs the focus of even those who struggle with attention disorders, and motivates teenagers to accept who they are, and understand what it means to be a true HERO.
"Many adolescents find themselves in a ditch -- whether they were run off the road, or they drove into it themselves -- and have no clue how to get out.  It's at these times when you need to call the tow-truck driver.  And that's who I am.  I go in, pull them out, then hand them over to their 'driver's ed instructors' a little more motivated to drive a little more safely on their road of life."

"I have NEVER seen a group pulled in by a speaker like they were with Justin!" 
- C. Sorensen, M.Ed., Counseling Coordinator, Manchester H.S., VA
