Kentucky Entrepreneur Hall Of Fame

Episode 92 Justin Hall was born in Pikeville, KY in 1974. His parents had a Bluegrass Band and his father was an artist. Even though he grew up in the hills of eastern Kentucky where coal was king, it never interested him. He loved the mountains, history, and heritage, but he had other interests. Hall graduated from Elkhorn City High School in 1993 and Pikeville College (now UPike) in the summer of 1997. Shortly after graduating from UPike he discovered an interest in web design and development.  The web held his attention and captivated his imagination.   In 2017, Justin was chosen as one of Fast Company's 100 Most Creative People in Business for teaching a coal miner how to code and helping start Bit Source, a company located in eastern Kentucky that employs former coal miners as coders.  Currently, he is the Lead Instructor for Awesome Inc's Web Developer Bootcamp in Lexington, Kentucky. He's also involved in several startups and entrepreneur efforts across the Commonwealth. Links Mentioned
