Justin first found his interest in digital marketing while managing logistics and occasionally tinkering with the website for Semester at Sea, a study abroad company that takes students around the world on a ship converted into a floating campus.

When not leading the SEO team at Perfect Search, Justin enjoys trying new wine, reading science fiction & fantasy books, and watching training videos for the puppy he doesn't have.
