Justin was born in 1986 to good Catholic parents in Irvine, California. His father was (and still is) an irrigation system designer for landscape architects in California. His mother was a devoted homemaker who helped teach, raise and care for him and his sister Amanda. At age five his parents moved to Santa Maria, where he spent the remainder of his childhood. Justin attended Catholic school for one and a half years and was then homeschooled through high school. In 2002 Justin and his family relocated across the country to western Ohio to pursue a healthier, more self-sufficient lifestyle in the countryside and to help other interested Catholic families do the same thing. Justin scored 91 on the SAT in 2003, a year before graduating high school. After graduating, Justin took up his father's AutoCAD drafting business. In 2005, his interest in politics and political issues led him to start writing. His first article, dealing with terrorism and America's response to it from a Catholic perspective, was published in the Ethical Spectacle in February and March 2006. His second article dealt with the Terri Schiavo controversy. Justin spent two years researching and writing his book on terrorism, which was accepted by Tate Publishing in 2008. Justin enjoys a variety of activities in his leisure time such as reading, playing piano, watching movies, bikeriding, fishing and amateur astronomy. One of his favorite books is The Lord of the Rings. OpEdNews Member for 239 week(s) and 4 day(s) 8 Articles, 0 Quick Links, 27 Comments, 1 Diaries, 0 Polls
