Whether he’s speaking to a small group of 15, or an auditorium of 1,500, students will be impacted by his energy, enthusiasm and encouragement. He is very passionate about helping students do the right things and formulate action plans for their lives and campus communities.
“I’m all about students taking action in their lives,” Justin said. “When they take their vision and put it into action, they are better leaders, more effective communicators and agents for change in their campus community and in their world.”
Justin was our keynote speaker and diversity speaker at our Transition Summit. The students fell in love with him. He was highly interactive, and hit on critical issues that made sense to our students. His presentation inspired and empowered our students and they have stayed in contact with Justin after the program. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND bringing Justin to any campus where the outcome is to inspire students to create action plans. A five star speaker!

Tiwanda Taylor, University of Pittsburgh
I really thought that Justin came in and did exactly what we needed him to do -- get our students excited about the experience and about being leaders on our campus.
Charlie Warner, West Chester University
I came to AFLV, C not really knowing what it was. Our organization colonized late last semester and has been an uphill battle since trying to redefine fraternity and fight stereotypes. Justin's presentation was so inspiring and put everything in perspective. It was the best presentation I have ever heard and was so upbeat and lively. Not once did I find myself spacing off and even found myself tweeting about it during the session.
Steven Anderson, Nebraska Wesleyan University, Phi Kappa Tau
Justin's passion was absolutely evident in his session speeches. To be honest, almost all of the NGLA leadership discussions sing the same song. However, Justin's speech about being an ACTion HERO brought forth new dynamics to being a successful leader in a Greek Community. Keep it up, Justin!
