Justin Vipperman

Justin has a lot of memories from high school. The time he, Kendi, and Marc almost got expelled for not wearing shoes for an entire week. When he and Dave Brown ditched Ms. Adam's newspaper class everyday to go to JR Java to get italian sodas when they were supposed to be selling ads. (makes you wonder how he's so successful at selling ads now : ) State Baseball- in his words, "the beer, the tobacco, and staying up for three days straight." No wonder they didn't win. *editors note (his wife): Justin has seen the error in his ways during high school and does not promote alcohol or tobacco. Him and Craig Vanderham sitting one-behind-the-other on the stairs at state basketball and doing what will forever be known as "the bobsled" *Editors note (again his wife): most of Justin's stories involve running from the cops, things exploding or illegal substances so we're being selective. Just note that he had a pretty exciting high school experience. Right out of high school Justin served a mission for the LDS church in Nashville, Tennessee. He loved it and loved the people there, and even had a chance to meet a few country music stars while he was there. In November 2003, Justin married Rebecca Bunn, and they now have one daughter, Audrey Mae Vipperman who will turn one in May. The Vippermans are currently living in Boise where Justin works for the Idaho Statesman, the largest paper in Idaho. He works as a marketing and advertising executive there and has a blast. He sells ads to small businesses in Idaho for advertising, then manages their accounts which includes handling their contracts, coming up with the ideas and layouts for the ads, helps with marketing their business etc. The Idaho Statesman was also recently a finalist for the 2008 Pulitzer Prize, which has been very exciting for Justin. In his spare time Justin enjoys going to minor league baseball games, BSU events, and eating at great restaurants.
