Justin is a Registered Sport Dietitian and has been fired up about contributing to an awesome staff and facility at SPC since 2007. He completed his Master’s degree in Kinesiology at San Diego State University also in 2007 and holds several fitness certifications including Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist (NSCA), USA Weightlifting Club Coach, Certified Health/Fitness Instructor (ACSM), and Certified Personal Trainer (ACE). Justin also holds the Board Certified Specialist in Sports Dietetics distinction - the premier professional sports nutrition credential in the United States.
His interest in nutrition and fitness began as a young motocross racer, after reading an article on eating well to increase performance. In high school Justin wrestled and ran track, but the eventual lack of calls and letters from scouts led him to the realization that competing at the Division I collegiate level was beyond reach. Justin soon turned his focus to improving the performance and lives of others and graduated from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo in 2003 with a dual degree in Nutrition and Kinesiology and later completed his dietetic internship at the University of Houston.
His experience includes training athletes from the Junior High to Olympic level, teaching college courses, providing nutrition therapy to patients with a multitude of medical conditions, and presenting sport nutrition and fitness lectures to an array of audiences. He also worked as the strength & conditioning coach for the SDSU Women’s Lacrosse team. Justin grew up in the Los Angeles area and, thus, bleeds Dodger blue (but hopes Padre fans won’t hold that against him too much). His dream of becoming a rock star faded some time ago and he now aspires to share his passion for fitness and nutrition through training and educating elite athletes as a strength coach and dietitian.
Justin completed the year-long GIFT fellowship in 2009. The Gray Institute for Functional Transformation (GIFT) is designed to enable participants to achieve proficiency, competence, confidence, and credibility in all aspects of Applied Functional Science through an understanding of functional principles, strategies, and techniques appropriate for use with patients and clients of all types and for all purposes including prevention, rehabilitation, and performance enhancement.
Justin regular contributes to SPC's RUniversity, Active.com, and FitTogether.com by writing health, fitness and nutrition tips and blogs.
