About Justin

Justin and his wife, Kaylee, currently reside in the suburbs of Chicago where he has been the Elementary Director, Camp Director, and now the Interim Children's Ministry Director at Parkview Community Church. Having spent most of his life in the deserts of Nevada and Arizona, many people often ask why he would ever come to the Midwest. While Justin certainly hates cold and grey winters, he continues to affirm that he felt called to the Chicago area, specifically to Parkview Community Church, and has experienced incredible growth since following that call.

A few fun facts about Justin are that he is an avid hammocker and typically has a hammock handy at almost any moment. He has developed a few random talents like playing the ukulele and yo-yo-ing that are effective at entertaining kids, a key part of his job at times. Justin's greatest passion is finding ways to eliminate barriers to people seeking to know Christ.

Justin's Personality

DISC Assessment - The Contemplator

C

D

S

Contemplators are analytical and logical people. They are driven to do the best, and they think there is always room for improvement. Contemplators tend to be competitive and want to have the best quality job done.

Contemplators are sensitive to people, but the logical, task-oriented side can take over quite easily. Justin strives to do the best for others. Contemplators care about others, but may seem unemotional. Contemplators are centered on "the facts" and while they have good intentions, they may lose sight of what is best for people while focusing on protocol, facts and details.

Insatiably curious and always up for an intellectual challenge, INTJs can see things from many perspectives.

INTJs trust their rationalism above all else, so when they come to a conclusion, they have no reason to doubt their findings. This creates an honest, direct style of communication that isn't held back by perceived social roles or expectations.

If something piques their interest, INTJs can be astonishingly dedicated to their work, putting in long hours and intense effort to see an idea through. INTJs are incredibly efficient, and if tasks meet the criteria of furthering a goal, they will find a way to consolidate and accomplish those tasks.

INTJs stay open to new ideas, supported by logic, even if they prove INTJs' previous conceptions wrong.

INTJs' open-mindedness, determination, independence, confidence and strategic abilities create individuals who are capable of doing anything they set their minds to. INTJs are able to reverse-engineer the underlying methodology of most any system and apply the concepts that are exposed wherever needed.
