Justin is a graduate of Troy University’s Hall School of Journalism, where he graduated Cum Laude in 2008 with a broadcast journalism major and political science minor. While in college, he volunteered for the university’s award-winning Troy TrojanVision News station, where he anchored, reported and co-produced newscasts.
While in college, Justin interned at WAKA Action 8 News, before getting hired as a reporter in our Troy bureau from 2018 to 2020.
During his first stint at Action 8, Justin covered many events throughout south and central Alabama, including the 2019 Wetumpka tornado and the death and funeral of Lowndes County Sheriff ‘Big John’ Williams.

Justin is a Covington County native, growing up in the rural town of Red Level, near Andalusia. Notable figures from Red Level include Luther Terry, who was surgeon general of the United States when tobacco packaging warning messages were first released and Eugene Crum Foshee, an Alabama state legislator.
When he’s not bringing you the latest news, you can find Justin on a tennis court, a running trail or hanging at the beach with family and friends.
He is also a HUGE Auburn Tiger fan (War Eagle) and loves all things sports.
