His boxing career started at the age of 12 when he started training under Earl Gilkey and then moved on to his next trainer and best friend, Bill Wagner, of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Justin held the USA Boxing and Golden Glove titles for over three years. He obtained his USA boxing license on July 5, 2000 at the age of 17. In March 2001, he represented Heartland Region at Olympic Trials in Colorado Springs, Colorado. He accomplished many boxing goals. His love for boxing was known by everyone that knew him.
