#6 Jason Johnson: President of JE Johnson Inc.
Joe sits down with Jason Johnson, president of JE Johnson Inc., a mechanical contracting company for commercial, industrial, and residential customers throughout Michigan. Jason's father started J.E. Johnson in 1979 in Midland, Michigan. Jason has been in the family business since he was 14. He worked his way up in the company and took over as president and CEO in 2012.
Jason is a father and husband and has two boys Easton who will soon be 10 in November, and Torren, 4. The most impactful memories in his life are when he married his wife Erin in 2016 and gained his son Easton, and four years ago when his son Torren was born.
Jason enjoys being outside golfing, going to the gym, and spending time with his wife and kids. He also enjoys mindless work and makes time each week because he finds the time helps him reflect and solve problems.
