Justin
The Community Builder
Competition Ribs
Justin's BBQ philosophy is simple: respect the meat, trust the smoke, and never rush perfection. He's the reason Your Behind BBQ feels like family — whether you're a first-timer or a regular.
Growing up in Arizona, Justin developed a deep appreciation for the communal nature of BBQ — the way it brings people together, slows everything down, and creates memories. That spirit is baked into everything he does at YB BBQ.
On the competition circuit, Justin made his name with ribs. His technique is methodical, his timing is precise, and his results speak for themselves. But ask him what he's most proud of, and he'll point to the community — the 100,000+ people who follow the YB BBQ journey online and the regulars who show up every Wednesday.
Justin runs the catering side of the operation and is the face you'll most likely see at events across Arizona. He brings the same energy to a 200-person wedding as he does to a backyard birthday party.
