ST LOUIS, MISSOURI: Justin Farrell stands out from the typical real estate broker, hailing from the serene surroundings of the Lake of the Ozarks. He personifies the spirit of lakeside living, deeply ingrained in his roots.

Justin Farrell is a prominent figure in the Lake of the Ozarks real estate scene and a familiar face on HGTV's 'Lakefront Empire.'

Earning the admiration of viewers through his expertise and charm, Justin Farrell plays a pivotal role at John Farrell Real Estate Co. This distinguished firm is renowned for its exceptional service and extensive local connections.

Justin got married to his wife Carrie in 2013. Facing an ultimatum from his wife, Justin Farrell candidly revealed, "My wife Carrie and I tied the knot in 2013. She presented me with an ultimatum – if I didn't propose, she would leave me! The best compliment I've ever received was her saying yes to my proposal. She sacrificed everything to be with me, and living with me is no easy feat!"

In 2009, amid the challenges of battling alcoholism and juggling roles as a real estate agent and nightclub disc jockey, Justin Farrell crossed paths with his future wife. Reflecting on that time, he shared, "I had been sober for six months, living with my parents, and barely making ends meet."

Justin Farrell expressed gratitude for his wife and supportive family, stating, "I have an amazing wife, who ensures I'm the best I can be; a 7-year-old daughter named Airabella, who brings joy into my life every single day; and a female dog and cat. Without them, I'd be a ship without a rudder."

Justin Farrell opened up about dropping out of college

Justin Farrell candidly shared about "partying" too much which led him to drop out of college.

"I went to Lindenwood University in Saint Charles, Missouri, to attend college and play soccer. But I found out I wasn't nearly as good a soccer player as I thought I was, so I left the team. Unfortunately, I didn't graduate because I majored in partying. Knowledge is power. When you stop learning, you stop growing. If I only knew then what I know now!", he shared.

Justin Farrell has been sober for 15 years

Eventually, Justin Farrell's partying lifestyle caught up with him. The 'Lakefront Empire' star revealed that he has now been 15 years sober.

Justin Farrell reflected how he once heard a great quote that said, "When I die, I'm going to face my maker, and he is going to show me the person I could have become with all the gifts and talents he gave me." That quote inspired him to work on being a better person.

'Lakefront Empire' will premiere on HGTV on Monday, March 11, at 10 pm ET/PT, and will be available to watch on Max the same day and time.
