Together, with a friend of mine, we have created a nonprofit called Veggie-Bros where we collect produce and food that is intended to be disposed of. We deliver this food to organizations that help those in need such as La Salle, Feeding South Florida, and local food banks.
Best Cushman Memory
My favorite Cushman memory was the Senior Beach Day and Escape Room.
“Justin is one of the greatest thinkers of the Class of 2023. He is able to critically and creatively analyze a variety of data from complex problems, and propose unique solutions to address global and local issues. He learns with enthusiasm, is a highly effective collaborator and communicator. As Dr. Suess said, “You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose.”
