Justin Aguirre
Justin Aguirre is the Co-Host/Executive Producer for the Billy and Lisa in the Morning Show. He grew up in Malden listening to Kiss 108 with dreams of one day working there.
Unfortunately, he hit many roadblocks in life which led him to some dark places. He never gave up hope, though, and in 2008 he found himself faced with a decision: keep living the way he was or make a change and chase his dream.
Justin went back to college at Northern Essex Community Collee and earned a degree in Broadcast Journalism. He accepted an internship at IHeartMedia, which led to a part time position as a producer. After several years, he became a producer for the legendary Matty in the Morning Show.
In 2022, he became a Co-Host/Executive Producer for the newly launched Billy and Lisa Show – where he gets to continue to live out his childhood dream!
Justin is married to his beautiful wife Jenn. They have two children Abel and Gemma, who are 9 and 4 respectively.
He is an avid sneakerhead and a dedicated gym rat.
