Guest Bio: Lieutenant Colonel Justin Constantine

Justin is a Lieutenant Colonel in the Marine Corps with 16 years of active and reserve service.  He volunteered for his deployment to Iraq in 2006, excited to lead other Marines and help rebuild that war-torn part of the world. While on a routine combat patrol, an enemy sniper shot Justin in the head, causing catastrophic damage, destroying his jaws and much of his face. Thanks to the heroic efforts of a young Navy Corpsman, and his own warrior spirit, Justin is still alive today.  Since his injury, Justin has continued to lead from the front and serve as a role model to other Wounded Warriors.  Justin’s personal awards include the Purple Heart, the Meritorious Service Medal, the Combat Action Ribbon, and the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal.

Through his journey of courage, injury, resilience and triumph, Justin demonstrates that we are all stronger than we think we are.  His personal story of recovery and success is a testament to the power of the human spirit, and the message he shares applies to all members of the audience.  All will leave inspired to attack any difficulties in their own lives, and will search out opportunities to excel at work and at home.
