Hi, I'm Justin.

I grew up in New York and somewhere along the way became the guy in the backyard with the grill going. Gas grill, charcoal, smoker. I cooked all of it. After attending Arizona State University I ended up staying in Arizona, which means year-round outdoor cooking and plenty of reasons to keep adding equipment to the patio.

[TODO: Justin's note here — what got you focused on high-protein cooking specifically, and when/how that shift happened.]

My wife and two kids are the primary beneficiaries (and occasional critics) of everything I cook.

[TODO: Justin's note here — the actual origin story of ProteinCrafted: why you started it and what it grew out of.]

When I'm not in the kitchen, I'm probably at the movie theater, a habit I've kept since growing up in New York that Arizona is perfectly set up to maintain. Or just drop me a note.
