Committed to contemporary music and performance, Justin has premiered several works as a solo and chamber musician, most recently leading a consortium to commission composer and multi-instrumentalist Connor Shafran.

Additionally, outside of his work as a concert artist, Justin has also performed with the World Champion Carolina Crown Drum & Bugle Corps and continues to remain active in the marching arts as an educator and percussion arranger.
