Justin began his career in architecture at the age of 16 working for a small residential design firm in Sandy, UT. After high school he spent the next several years working with other SLC design firms, ultimately landing at GSBS Architects early in 1998. Having spent the last 27 years here, Justin is a Principal and Senior Architect working together with project teams, clients and contractors through all phases of work and various delivery methods to ensure that projects are kept on schedule and within budget.

In the summer months, Justin enjoys golfing and riding his motorcycle through the canyons in and around northern Utah. In the winter he spends his free time snowboarding in those same canyons.

As a leader in our commercial sector, Justin leverages significant experience in all types of commercial design projects, including office, manufacturing, warehouse/distribution, retail and multi-family. He holds professional licenses in both Utah and Idaho, is a member of the American Institute of Architects, LEED Accredited Professional and past President of the Utah Chapter of the Design-Build Institute of America.
