Justin Schuck was raised in Sandpoint and attended college at Boise State University and in Germany. He traveled extensively looking for a place to settle down. He didn't have to travel far to decide that the place was where he was raised. Justin
is a partner in a local residential construction company, Idagon Homes, which provides employment for about 60 of our community members. He is a young professional and brings energy, clear vision, and a willingness to learn to the City of Sandpoint. He strives to make sound decisions based on fact, not
emotion. He and his wife want to raise their
children in Sandpoint, and he wants them to enjoy a safe and vibrant community similar to the Sandpoint where he grew up. Justin is an avid outdoorsman and enjoys dirt biking, snowmobiling, snowboarding, and boating. |

himself in the community in various ways.
His participation in the Sandpoint
Comprehensive Planning process, the Festival
at Sandpoint “Going Green” program, and his

for over two years prior to being elected to
City Council.

Washington University in pursuit of a Masters
in Urban and Regional Planning.
