"I'm heading to Boston to report for WHDH, Channel 7 News, and to be closer to my family in the frozen north" Justin said on his Facebook page. "If there's one thing I've learned about San Antonio it's that this city really is one big family. I can't even count all the amazing people I've met and the delightful conversations I've had in the past two years. So thank you to San Antonio for being San Antonio, and save some tacos for me when I visit. I'm gonna go be that guy who accidentally says "y'all" on Boston TV."

During his time in Oregon, Justin covered a number of stories that gained national attention, including devastating wildfires, underfunded law enforcement agencies and multiple FBI cold cases.
