Early life
Thorne was born in Canada and graduated in Economics from Queen's University in 2001.
Career
Soon after he was employed at Bell Canada as a control centre manager where he was asked to remove 20 years-worth of office junk. At the time there were no such companies which offered any junk removal services. As a result, Thorne identified a need for junk removal services for businesses and residences.[2][3]
Thorne left his job and started JustJunk in 2004 in St. Catharines with the goal of providing an easy junk removal service.[4] The company would offer online and over the phone junk removal bookings to offices and homes around Canada and the United States.[5]
