Justin has overseen the development of BIG!NYC from inception. Justin managed the 2 deconstruction projects for the Durst Organization that generated the materials that launched BIG!NYC. Before BIG!NYC, Justin worked on Community Environmental Center’s efforts to establish a statewide loan fund for the installation of energy efficiency measures. Justin’s previous experience managing construction crews in residential development prepared him for his work at BIG!NYC. He also previously worked as Loan Associate with Low Income Investment Fund monitoring loans to non-profit housing developers and for an educational Internet company during the first Internet boom. He owns the cute white Jack Russell named Lucy. Justin loved dumpster diving so much that he decided to make it into a full blown career. To the ongoing distress of Christine, all of their home furnishings and most of his clothes consist of found items and materials (except their mattress – not his choice.)
