He was an avid gun enthusiast and an accomplished marksman.

His true passion lay with European history. He had extensive knowledge of World War I and World War II making his history degree from Seattle University a good fit. He understood the value of the study of history. Justin and Caroline traveled extensively in France, Spain and Switzerland.
