Jeremiah
L. Johnson With a natural aptitude as an innovative entrepreneur and creative inventor, Jeremiah Johnson applies his skills and marketing expertise to the businesses that he owns and represents. It is this fascinating combination of tenaciously driven business-savvy and creative entrepreneur that has led to his latest internet venture as the founder of GeoDex, LLC, a human interaction driven search engine with a patent pending platform. Short for Geographic Indexing, GeoDex® provides the first ever self-learning and ever growing ranking system. GroovyDo, a new easy way to search, buy and share what's local is powered by GeoDex Search and is scheduled to beta release in early 2011. Not surprisingly, Jeremiah Johnson began his first peek into the world of free enterprise at an early age, growing up in an entrepreneurial family in a rural community of North Carolina. Upon graduating Alleghany High School in 1999, he attended Surry Community College and Western Carolina University; only to realize his true passion and inspirations were destined for other forthcoming personal pursuits. After dropping out of pre-med school, Jeremiah immediately began pursuit of his dreams. He launched his first successful startup business, which was a regional advertising company that he sold nine months later. That first burst of success ignited a hunger to express his naturally inventive and creative talents, which led Mr. Johnson to join a highly recognized International Mergers and Acquisitions company. While there, he gained the hands-on experience that was necessary to learn how the most successful corporations operated, excelled and profited to their maximum potential. This sought-after motivation was the stepping stone for his next endeavor, Etomic Companies. ETOMIC fueled the hunger for what would become a portfolio of companies, beginning in 2001 with the first secure file management and sharing application; a creative marketing, design (EtomicMarketing) and interactive hosting company (EtomicHosting) and a social networking music community in 2008 (YouTunes). Also under the umbrella of ETOMIC came the creation of Carports.com, which became the number one retailer in the United States for outdoor steel products, later resulting with its acquisition in 2008. Jeremiah Johnson propelled the company to an impressive $40M in annual sales within 36 months, including popular destination websites such as Carports.com, MetalGarages.com, and QuickCanopies.com, among others. While in the steel industry, Jeremiah traveled to China and began his own steel brand, including engineering a new product line with unique patent pending features. Within a short time, he discovered that his invention would bring heavy demand when it hit the US marketplace in 2007. That same year, Mr. Johnson became managing partner of Steel Lending Network Inc., a nationwide lending company that financed residential consumers in the steel industry within the continental US marketplace. In addition to these impressive accolades, Mr. Johnson has hands-on involvement in the nanotechnology research and development marketplace, real estate development, social applications, and geographic relevance technology. Jeremiah founded Barns.com Inc. along with T-N-T Carports, Inc., the largest outdoor structure manufacturer in the United States. Barns.com is now the largest Internet retailer in it's industry for engineered steel barns and agriculture structures. More recently founded several new innovative patent-pending inventions; a new telecommunications company (TalkTones), and a social shopping company (GroovyDo) powered by GeoDex Search. Apart from being a highly ambitious, Jeremiah Johnson is a devoted partner, friend and businessman. He is an avid exotic car owner and enthusiast who enjoys traveling and spending time on the glorious sunny Florida coastline, where he now resides. Of course, he never stops dreaming, creating and implementing the next startup. It is his innate knowledge, technological prowess and inherent leadership that have put Jeremiah in demand among the leaders of the corporate world. Mr. Johnson has founded and successfully exited nine acquisitions before thirty years of age, has multiple patents pending and is currently attending Harvard Business School for Intellectual Property and Business Strategy, while running his latest endeavors. |
