Edward Johnson Is a man of many hats…A motivational speaker, a musician, an entrepreneur, a builder, and an engineer to name a few. As a young family man, the need to climb the proverbial corporate ladder was clear & present. Thus, his professional journey began in the Accounting industry as an A/R Clerk. This opened the door for his foray deeper into the field, as his fastidious nature set the stage for a role Staff Accountant for a prominent Palm Beach mortgage firm.  The ceiling as a number cruncher rapidly approaching, he moved his family to Atlanta where he decided to change direction by leveraging his experience to gain entry to the Information Technology world via an Accounting Software company.  From here, he saw substantial achievements in the field, culminating in his role of shaping the development of a critical department for an I.T. Startup under a well-established global textile and steel company.  This challenging & enriching experience stoked the flames for the next great adventure: trading the ‘9-to-5’ to become the owner of a thriving Consulting Firm.

In 2020, searching for an outlet to exercise the pain and uncertainty of the climate we currently live in, GenWEL was created. The opportunity to carry the torch lit by the celebrated and the derided social and civil activists who saw, spoke up, AND fought against injustices, prejudices, and cruel treatment of the underserved is here.
