In 2003 Justin started doing web development in Las Vegas, building the backend of several sites using home-grown PHP libraries.
After moving back to his home state of Minnesota in 2008, he attended WordCamp Minneapolis in 2010, and has been steeped in the WordPress world ever since. Justin helped reboot and co-organize WordCamp Minneapolis in 2013 after going dormant for a couple years. It has been going strong every year since.
