Justin Penney – VP External
Justin is, first and foremost, a communicator. This is the common thread that ties together his patchwork of interests and achievements in sales, management, journalism, songwriting, and performing in indie rock bands. He tries to leave things in better condition than he found them and is always looking for a way to do something better. When he isn’t locked away studying or playing music, he can be found snowboarding, golfing, cooking, travelling, or watching his beloved Canadiens in a local watering hole, drinking a beer purchased with money borrowed from his awesome wife.
