| The Bed You've Made |
"Justin understands that everybody improvises from a different perspective and a different set of life experiences. Part of the magic is taking 8 brains and creating this amazing experience, from nothing. Justin nurtures that individuality and encourages you to be you. He'll hand you the tools and then teach you how to teach yourself to use them. " - Ryan Williams
"I've known Justin since he was a wee one in the world of improvisation. At a young age, he had passion and drive, which made him a great performer. As he's aged, I've seen him shift from a serious student to a serious instructor of our craft. He is one of Denver's best instructors. Justin has heart, and I like heart." - Kerstin Caldwell
