Since graduation, xe has attempted to work in advocacy or education, and has gained experience in offices and theaters. In whatever field Justin finds xyrself in, xe keeps bringing as much insight into advocacy and teaches as much as xe can no matter where xe works.
A love for Star Trek got Justin through elementary school through college - xyr baccalaureate capstone even discussed Star Trek and how it relates to race and gender. In adulthood, xyr love of science fiction expanded from just Star Trek to include other science fiction and fantasy universes, most notably the Honor Harrington universe. Noticing a lack of representation in science fiction and fantasy and having a drive to tell xyr own stories, Justin has been working on xyr own science fiction work and plans on one day being published.
Justin volunteers xyr time as a Community Manager for Twin Cities Geek and has two podcasts: GraysMatter Podcast and Justin on Panels.
