| “ | What is your political philosophy?
An entrepreneur, writer, educator, and social organizer, Justin started a successful web development business before he was old enough to drive. By 21, he was managing the Indiana Supreme Court’s complex website. By 22 he was running his own website development and digital consulting company, SuperPixel. Justin helps clients optimize their online presence, has taught web design to students at the high school and college level, and has channeled central Indiana’s youthful tech community’s resources into community service, first through social organizations like RefreshIndy, and later through the annual re:build web conference hosting hundreds of attendees. An avid writer and bicyclist, Justin is also working on a slew of new projects and endeavors, including a new book about advertising and online media for small businesses. He is also a member of the Downtown Indianapolis Rotary Club, and can be seen walking dogs most every weekend at Indianapolis Animal Care. Justin lives on the east side of Indianapolis with his husband Jeremiah and is an active volunteer Canine Companion at Indy Humane. Is there anything you would like to add? Our home values, attitude, business profits, school achievement, and economic growth is tied entirely to our neighbors’ health, work, ideas, and talent. As a City-County Councilor I want to encourage everyone to think long-term, to shape their neighborhood, and to fear nothing in pursuit of big audacious goals without the use of force and heavy taxation.[2] |
