Justin lives near Denver, Colorado with his beautiful wife Tara, and three very high-energy children. He served in the Army guard for seven years with two deployments, Bosnia and Iraq.

He helped launch Hero Haven because beyond the wounded and fallen men and women in the military and law enforcement, there are average guys and gals who wore the same uniform, traveled the same roads and jungles, and undertook the same risk — but are often forgotten.

Those who put their life on the line, narrowly escaping death, are frequently left to deal with their experience alone. Or they are told to simply “move on.” These brave souls also deserve our gratitude for their sacrifice. They, too, must be awarded recognition for their service.

At Hero Haven, we want to reward the unsung heroes who possess scars that cannot be seen. We want to give back to those who live unrecognized. Many of these fine people still have a battle to fight, daily.

Bottom line, they have earned this and we will be there for them.
