Justin Wade Turner “JT” was born in Grapevine, Texas and grew up in Bedford, attending Bedford Heights Elementary, Bedford Junior High and LD Bell High School where he played varsity baseball. Justin loved baseball and played from the age of 4 until he completed his freshman year at college, making lifelong friends at each and every stop. After graduating from Bell, Justin played baseball at Dallas Christian College before announcing to his parents he wanted to hang up his glove, transfer to Texas Tech and go through Rush. The full college experience is what he wanted. In 2021, he pledged and was a proud member of the Texas Tech Sigma Chi chapter where he continued to make impactful friendships.
