Employee Spotlight: Justin

Employee Spotlight: JustinTell us a little about yourself and your role at Acertara.

I am a Dad, I am from Maryland, I have a Doctorate in Business Administration, I wrote 2 books and currently sit on 2 board seats (UC Boulder and UC Colorado Springs). I enjoy fitness, music, architecture, and cars. At Acertara, I am the HR Director. I have been in HR for 7 years and enjoy most the connection with people and helping enhance company culture and growth. I am a bit of a futurist and a fundamentalist, so my values are pretty balanced.

What would people never guess you do in your role?

HR is very data-informed, so it may be interesting how much of a mathematical and information-dependent role it is.

What do you like most about Acertara?

I like the wealth of knowledge under this roof. Being among very smart people that are kind and fun is awesome.

What is your favorite movie and/or book?

Book: Shoe Dog by Phil Knight

Where would you like to travel to?

I am planning a trip to Switzerland. I have been to many places and the climate and culture in Switzerland is unique and unlike places I have been in the past.

If you could drink one beer for the rest of your life, what would it be?

I’m a Modelo fan but also love Yuengling.

If you were stuck on an island what three things would you bring?

Flint, a satellite phone, a water filter (for all types of water).
