Justin has spent over 16 years working with governments worldwide. After graduating from the University of Florida in 2007, Justin was appointed to serve in President Bush's Administration. After his time in government, Justin worked for the Transatlantic Business Council, advising multinationals in the EU and U.S. on how to influence Brussels and Washington. In 2011, Justin went into Tech—working first for Orbitz, then joining a then-unknown Uber. Justin built and led Uber's policy and communications functions first in the Americas and then Globally, and opened markets for Uber in all 50 U.S. States and in 70 nations worldwide. In 2020, Justin ran Uber's California statewide ballot initiative campaign on worker classification, Prop-22, winning 59-41%. Prop-22 was the most expensive ballot measure in state history. After winning Prop-22 and helping take Uber public, Justin left Uber to join Peloton in 2021, where he currently serves today as a Senior Vice President, leading on their issues surrounding healthcare, logistics, semiconductors, labor, shipping, AI, privacy, tax, trade, veterans and defense programs. 


Justin served on the Board of The Internet Association (2015), was a founding Board Director of the Autonomous Vehicle Industry Association (2016-2018), belongs to The Economic Club of Washington, D.C., and maintains his Florida roots by serving on the Board of Directors for the University of Florida Gator Boosters. He also volunteers his time by advising aspiring political candidates and startup founders, and by serving as editor of his community newsletter. 


Justin resides in Arlington, VA with his wife and two children. Justin lives in a house divided with his Florida State Seminole alum-wife, and poetically their youngest child was born during the second quarter of the 2022 Florida-Florida State game. It remains unclear where his ultimate loyalties will lie, but the Gators are looking good.
