About the Speaker:
Justin is a Wooster native who spent his childhood here and graduated in 2010. He started his career in the United States Air Force where he was immersed in the field of petroleum logistics. 11 years later, after living in North Carolina, Washington, and four deployments abroad, he moved back home and began working at Santmyer Energy. Having gone to school for cryogenics while in the Air Force, he had experience handling refrigerated liquids and their system components. This gave him a solid foundation to step into the propane division at Santmyer.
