An Innovative Concept from Justin G. Guy
Justin G. Guy was born in Camden, NJ and raised in Willingboro, NJ. He is a husband, a father and a grandfather.
As the youngest child of 2, he watched his mother prepare most of the meals for the family. When he became a young man living on his own he began to experiment with cooking by mixing and trying new combinations of ingredients to create his own taste. Fast forward and at the age of 46 Chef Justin found himself in a predicament, that unfortunately many Americans face. His doctor discovered that his blood levels were at a “prediabetic” marker. This unfortunate news drove Chef Justin on a mission to change his eating habits and find foods that would lower his blood sugar. During this quest he continued to grow his passion for cooking that much more.
"Get your medicine from our foods”
Chef Justin is a truck driver by trade and this line of work also, proved to be another driving force for his mission to get the necessary vitamins and minerals from the food he ate. With over 10 + years of experience as a truck driver, he knows too well the challenges of finding healthy options while on the road. Even if he packed his own food, he was faced with little to no place for refrigeration and/or heating options. Then he would come up against “truck stops” that did not offer any wholesome food variety. All of these life experiences is where the idea of Jus Mobile Creations was birthed. He wanted to combine his faith, his love for cooking, and his job to help others. Jus Mobile Creations will focus on providing wholesome portioned foods to, not only truck drivers, but to all who look for healthier options.
