Justin is a dynamic and versatile performer based in the Metropolitan area, known for his wide-ranging musical talents and vibrant stage presence. His performance experience spans an impressive variety of genres and settings—from leading rock bands (once opening for the legendary Jefferson Starship) to conducting orchestras for musical theater productions.

Justin is a familiar face at local farmer’s markets, Oktoberfests, coffee houses, restaurants, yoga studios, and private events, where he entertains with his lively playing. He also performs jazz at hotels and embassies, leads festive Christmas caroling groups, and brings traditional Indian music to life on harmonium and sitar—once even gracing the stage of the Kennedy Center.

In addition to his performance work, Justin is a passionate music educator. With over 20 years of experience, his journey began in high school tutoring homeless youth, followed by more than a decade working with the Boy Scouts of America. There, he taught at nature centers and shooting ranges, eventually managing and directing camp operations. Today, he focuses on teaching music, maintaining a private studio of 45–55 students.

Beyond teaching and performing, Justin is also a respected figure in the accordion community. He services around 100 accordions annually through appraisals, repairs, and consignments, offering expert care and consultation. With a calendar full of over 100 performances each year, Justin brings joy, skill, and passion to every audience he meets.
