Biography

Success in business can come before your hair turns grey. At least that’s true if you look to Justin Hamilton as an example. Justin, who is 27, is the owner of Café Sabor and Off-Premise Catering.

Mr. Hamilton, who is originally from Idaho Falls, came to Utah State on a Presidential Scholarship. He found that serving on the President’s Leadership Council and in other student government positions gave him valuable leadership experience. When he was here, he made the Dean’s List every term and he graduated with a GPA of 3.68 in economics and political science. He also won the prestigious Robins Memorial Award. Mr. Hamilton feels that his academic successes helped him build the self confidence he needed to take on new challenges.

Café Sabor, a Mexican and Latino bistro, is located at the old train station on Center Street in Logan. Mr. Hamilton envisioned a unique restaurant that would prove a gathering place for college students and a welcome venue for families. With the help of family and friends, he opened Café Sabor, and anyone who visits the restaurant can tell he has succeeded.

Mr. Hamilton was president of the President’s Leadership Council and was a member of the Student Alumni Association Executive Board for two consecutive years. He has volunteered with the Red Cross as a Youth Ambassador and with Habitat for Humanity. He has worked with Nuestro Futuro, an after-school program for Latino youth, and is a member of Sigma Chi Fraternity. He also held numerous ASUSU leadership positions during his time at Utah State.
