I am Justin―that’s who I am, have been, and ever will be; however, that’s more than just a name, it’s a mural of fractured personas that together, create me―I am Justin.

More importantly, this curiosity has allowed me to make a difference on this Earth. In 2016, I started the conservation effort known as Project Interruptus.

Both of my personas have proved to work extraordinarily well with one another throughout my life. When I founded Xenogenic Succulents in 2015, it was crucial. Without the scientist persona, I wouldn’t have been able to cultivate the succulents, and without the focus of being an introvert, I wouldn't have been able to run it.
