 Justin is the husband of club member Haley Sebens, a graduate of Eastern Washington University and Gonzaga, a former Navy Aviation Intelligence office, a father to a daughter, son, and cat, and, claims to be a grandfather to a tortoise (ask him on Friday).

  • Lunch courtesy of Jersey Mike’s Subs and LaFeen’s doughnuts
  • Investigation Stations to learn about important parts of the ecosystem
