His dream was to race motorcycles, at which he excelled tremendously! He enjoyed mentoring younger riders and helping them at race tracks everywhere. He also promoted his own motorcycle races in Porterville for 2 years. The game of golf was another love of Justin's, and he enjoyed playing it with his sister Jenna, and daughter Brooklynn.
