Justen was born in 1975 and grew up in Billings, attending Faith Evangelical Church from a young age. He graduated from Skyview High School in 1993 and went on to the University of Montana where he studied Premed and got his degree in Computer Science. Following that, he went on to medical school at the University of Washington in Seattle and subsequently did his internal medicine residency in Portland, OR.
Justen met his lovely wife, Jen, through Campus Crusade in Bozeman during his first year of medical school and has been married for 14 years. Justen and Jen have one son, Jaxon, and a daughter, Cailyn.
Justen was able to move back to Montana in 2006 where he went to work for St Vincent Healthcare. He currently specializes in diabetes care and internal medicine and is the Director of St Vincent's Diabetes Center and Medical Director of Informatics, the hospital's electronic health record.
Spiritually, Justen asked Jesus into his heart at Vacation Bible School at Faith E, but it wasn't until college that his faith really became his own. He made Harvest Church his home church when moving back to Billings. He has been helping organize the medical missions trips for Harvest's Ethiopia Hope initiatives as well as volunteering locally with Harvest community projects and Celebrate Freedom.
Justen enjoys spending time with his family. In his free time he enjoys fishing, golfing and skiing or most things outdoors in Montana.
