A lifelong friend of the original Soils Alive founder, Justin has worked in the green industry for more than two decades. As Soils Alive began to grow he joined the company in 2000 to be the lead technician and served that role for many years. By 2010 he had become the GM and supervised all areas of daily production operations as well as continued to perform applications for customers. When the company changed hands in 2013 he was elevated to COO and oversaw more aspects of daily operations as well as the fertility program and all that entails. In 2022 the opportunity arose for him to purchase Soils Alive from the previous owner and now he is CEO and sole owner of the company he has worked at for the past two decades. He is a licensed certified applicator in all categories of lawn and ornamental maintenance by the Structural Pest Control Board of Texas. Justin enjoys learning about native grasses and the history of the Blackland Prairie in our region. An organic gardener and backyard chicken wrangler, Justin lives with his wife and daughter in the Lake Highlands area of Dallas.

Kirby graduated from Texas A&M in 2013 with a degree in Agriculture Economics. Soon after graduation she took an internship through a co-op program in Lubbock where she worked at a cotton gin. Realizing that Lubbock wasn’t where she was meant to be, she went off on an adventure traveling through New Zealand where she participated in the WWOOFing program (World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms) where she worked on varying organic farms in exchange for cultural experiences, food and accommodation. It is through this program that she found her passion for organics and knew that this was the career path she wanted to pursue. She has been with Soils Alive since 2015 and she has a passion for educating and empowering others through the sharing of her knowledge of organics. She’s a proud wife and mother of 2 who has a heart for the gospel and planting seeds of hope to those around her. In her free time, she enjoys organic gardening, tending to her house plant collection, crafts and eclectic design.
