Justin is a theatre producer, mystery writer, and director.

When not sitting in his library devising new and clever ways to kill people (for his mysteries), Justin can usually be found at The Way Off Broadway Dinner Theatre, where he is one of the owners and Managing Director. Since his family purchased the theatre in 2002, he has produced over one hundred productions, working behind the scenes to make the theatre magic happen. In addition to producing, over the years, his directing credits have grown to include everything from stagings of classic mysteries and thrillers like Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None, Wait Until Dark, and Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery to regional premieres of modern day musicals including Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Dolly Parton's 9 to 5: The Musical, and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

For the 2005 theatre season, Justin wrote his very first interactive murder mystery, A Rock-n-Roll Golden Oldies Mystery, followed by The Case of the Oldest Living Showgirl two years later. These interactive mysteries were so popular that Justin began producing them for events outside of the theatre, creating the Marquee Mysteries Series which now presents interactive murder mystery events at Way Off Broadway, Nora Roberts's Inn Boonsboro, and other venues around Mid-Maryland.

After writing nearly fifty of these interactive mysteries, Justin began work on his first full-length "case" . . . a novel. That novel, Now & Then, is the first book in the new Parker City Mysteries Series from Level Best Books.
