Justin Lookadoo
Speaker, Author & Safety Consultant
Justin was a Juvenile Probation Officer.
He spent nearly six years as a Crime Prevention Specialist. This allowed him to see the “before” and “after” of crime prevention. Justin developed and implemented programs for 28 elementary schools. By 2000, the referral rate to the department of corrections was 61% LESS than what was projected.
Travels from: Texas
Justin has a biology degree.
But don’t call him a science geek! He graduated from Tarleton State University, where he spent a lot of time studying the body, especially how it works and how drugs and chemicals can mess up your insides as well as how gender differences impact the development of the human brain. He talks about drugs, not as someone who has tried them (he hasn’t), but as a biologist who knows the truth behind all of the myths. Justin breaks down the complicated jargon into bite-size pieces that are easy to understand.
Justin is bilingual.
Many children in the early elementary classes he works with were missing out on important programs because they spoke only Spanish. So Justin moved to Mexico for three months and studied Spanish for eight hours a day. ¡Que Bueno! Now he offers elementary programs in both English and Spanish. It’s very cool to see the kids faces when “the tall man” starts to speak their language.
Justin is an award-winning author!
He is a #1 bestselling author for his book Dateable and has had three other books on the bestseller lists. Two of his books have been nominated for the prestigious Gold Medallion Award and he has sold over 275,000 books nationwide. Not bad for a kid whose two worst subjects were reading and writing.

What If Santa Had A Nose Ring?
Life is about change. More than that, it is like riding a bus, it requires change. In order to change the course of a generation, we must start at the top. We hold the key to giving our youth the passion for living.
Let’s take the key out of our pocket, open the lock and unleash an excitement in our youth of moving from where they are to where they dream to be; so they too can “Live With No Regrets.”

Junior High is tough. Justin brings the tools that will help young people handle the 3B’s that make it so tough. He sneaks hard-hitting facts in between humorous hits. This is a high speed presentation for a confusing time of life… Junior High! Kids will learn what alcohol really is and what it does to their bodies.
They will learn the facts behind tobacco and the lies they are sold in the media. And they will be taught 5 quick facts about inhalants. By the time they are done they won’t want anything to do with the stuff and they will be able to handle the peer pressure they are sure to face.
