Justin has spent 5+ years working across management and digital lead roles, and working in systems including Salesforce (inc. Communities), NationBuilder, Zapier, and other tools.

As the former Executive Director of reThink Green, he designed and operated several sustainability certification programs, including the reThink Events auditing program for major festivals and public events. In addition to this professional work, he has spent significant time volunteering in the governance and day-to-day of nonprofits, social impact organizations and their networks.
