So for Christmas, when he was just four, he got a karaoke machine. He would spend much of his time belting out songs and pretending he had large audiences. He got started developing his acting career in the third grade, when he auditioned for the school play, Fiddler on the Roof. He was selected to play the role of a villager. He loved being a part of this theatrical event putting in long hours and dedicating himself to the role. Opening night at the Albany Municipal Auditorium he knew for sure he wanted to continue developing his skills as an actor. Year after year he continues to take part in the school plays including Hello Dolly and Thoroughly Modern Millie.

One rainy day in February 2011 he had heard a talent scout was coming to the Deerfield Windsor School, where he has attended school since he started the first grade. His scheduled soccer game was canceled due to the rain. So he convinced his dad to take him by the school. He auditioned wearing his soccer uniform. There he met Marla Brettel and Blake Woodruff. He read a script and sang "Who's Crying Now" by Journey. After spending some time with Justin they asked him to go to Atlanta for a weekend workshop called "A Day in the Life". The weekend included getting instruction and experience working with different professionals in the industry. He had instructors helping him with improv, musical theatre, TV and film, dance, commercial, and runway. The weekend event concluded with a showcase which allowed for all the "selected talent" to perform before a live audience. Justin used this opportunity to do a singing improv with another talent, and to sing a solo of Nickelback's song "If Everyone Cared".
