Born and raised in Los Angeles, CA. Voted most likely to become president by his high school senior class, he never in a million years imagined he’d be playing a man who would become a possible future president. Since having graduated from UCLA, Justin has spent his time trying to find his place in the competitive acting world. Shortly after meeting his current collaborators, Justin began to think BIG and started writing and brainstorming ideas for the group. The culmination of these such ideas led to “Barackula.”

Graduated from the University of Florida with a major in theatre and psychology and a masters in business, he works in Los Angeles as an actor and music composer for film.

Nice Dream was founded by the creative forces
that brought "Barackula The Musical" to life, and the
fun-loving group behind the modestly successful Jeanne
McCarthy Air Hockey League. Nice Dream is currently
working on a wide spectrum of projects: feature-length
motion pictures, short online media and music

groovy song by Radiohead.
