Justin grew up in Springfield, Missouri, on a dairy farm just north of the city limits. He is the oldest of four children and married to Kendra Joy Skinner. They currently live in Springfield, Missouri. They love spending time with family, and enjoy playing all types of board games and pickle ball.

Justin played collegiate baseball at Crowder JUCO and Drury University, and is inducted into the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame. Soon after college (and getting fired from a job) Justin and Kendra started their own business in Springfield. Together, they also began investing in real estate and running short-term rentals.

Justin and Kendra still operate short-term rentals to this day and continue to invest when the right opportunity presents itself. Justin enjoys reading and writing, traveling with Kendra, and continues to learn from the amazing people around him.
