About Justin
Justin Braden
Out of high school, I wanted to be a journalist. Inspired by the madness of Hunter S. Thompson’s politics, the grit of Charles Bukowski’s poetry, and the booziness of Tom Waits' music, I developed this admittedly naïve and narrow view of writing with these counter-culture laureates whispering dirty thoughts in my ear about quitting my job and hitting the road. Naturally, I quit many jobs, and hit many roads - never finding my niche, or scratching the itch to write that scribbled away at my brain.
My influences are like tattoos of ex-girlfriends’ names that I just can’t cover up. Eventually, they show up in my writing, often unannounced like bad relatives, dropping in for a sentence or a thought before I unapologetically rush them along. Yet these influences somehow instilled a demanding persistence within me that inspired me to create Bradenco Sports – an online sports channel dedicated to finding the stories hidden deep down the back roads of East Tennessee.
