About Me

Justin has a curious mind and a creative spirit. He loves diving into the wonders of astrophysics and cosmology, and when he’s not exploring the universe through books, you’ll often find him enjoying the arts—whether that’s visiting museums, listening to music, or taking in a live concert (especially with his daughters by his side). He also has a hands-on passion for pottery, where he gets to shape and create with his own two hands.
