BJ Johnson

President

BJ Johnson

President

Brandon “BJ” Johnson was born and raised in Dallas, TX in the suburb of Grand Prairie to well-known local Dallas disc jockey and community activist Willis Johnson. After a short stint in the NFL with the Denver Broncos and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, BJ returned home in 2006 where he joined his father to help build JBJ Management.

BJ has had the opportunity to work with local city, county, and quasi-governmental agencies passing city and school bond programs. He has helped direct initiatives with mayoral campaigns and was selected for the inaugural Mayor's Star Council that has, since its inauguration, helped spur economic development in Southern Dallas.

BJ’s experiences with government initiatives led him into an opportunity to enter the construction industry around 2011, doing some small demolition, utilities, and millwork projects for some very small clients who would ultimately direct him into getting concrete. BJ did small sidewalks, curbs, gutters and parking lots, while also spearheading a local minority owned spirit company in 2014 with his former teammate and becoming the first and only African American owned beverage company in the MGM Resorts International Beverage program.

BJ’s company J&L Imperium Industries provides ready mix concrete to the projects that enable BJ to give back to the communities that allow him to operate and flourish as a business owner and hires local talent to be a part of the journey.
