Justin was a successful model for over 10 years before retiring in Los Angeles to pursue other interests. As a model he travelled the world, and along the course of it has lived in the greatest cities in the world including Milan, Paris, Barcelona, London to name a few. He was the original Giorgio Red model, lending his experience and charisma to the launch of the fragrance. When he was approached to write a script using his inside knowledge of the modelling business, Justin called Bob and "Glossy" was born.
Since then Justin has turned his efforts toward building one of the most successful contracting and design businesses in the city, selling his spec houses for top dollars to hollywood's elite. He has developed a taste for polo, owns a team and is building a horse ranch in Montecito, where he expects to build a polo pony training facility.
