The Founders
Leonard Johnson
Leonard ‘Graffiti’ Johnson grew up in the Montbello section of Denver, Colorado (now, a working class neighborhood, but at that time, a far more harsh environment) as a creative, artistic kid with a heavy interest in technology. Johnson learned at an early age the value of responsibility, work ethic and the foundations of good leadership. Because of his love of art (the nickname ‘Graffiti’ isn’t a fluke), outspoken personality and unique, forward thinking, a career in media and digital strategy was a natural progression. Evolving into one of the most sought after media personalities in the industry was all a part of the plan.
