Justin Krashefski on the Coast Guard

Justin Krashefski loves this country, and he has shown that in his public service and private life for as long as people have known him.  Beyond a patriot, he served in the United States Coast Guard for five years.  He embarked on this career straight out of high school, hitting the challenge of basic training head-on.  A young man with experience beyond his years, he excelled in his early service and started on a career representing and defending this country as few have the opportunity to do.  He learned early in his service that fitness would not only serve him well, it could help him exceed, so he continued his life-long dedication to excellent physical conditioning.

During his service, he faced threats against the United States that most people don’t consider every day.  This constant, daily battle placed him in the face of danger that few people know. There are constant smugglers, traffickers and dealers of drugs at the country’s shores each and every day.  They threaten commerce, private citizens and health of the communities and its members.  Krashefski witnessed many incidents throughout his service it always demands the highest mental clarity and physical readiness.  Justin Krashefski is known for his high level of physical fitness and was a leader on a countless number of athletic achievements.  This fitness helped him tune his mind as well, and he carried these skills over upon his return to a successful career as a police officer in the Fort Lauderdale Police Department.
