Benson JohnsonBenson Johnson grew up in Detroit, Michigan, and graduated from Wayne State University with a BA in business administration. Then for almost a decade, he worked as a sales representative for IBM and ITEK. After leaving corporate life he was proud to e a small business owner in Detroit for over 40 years. He started his business as a one-man operation in his upstairs spare bedroom with just a phone, a manual typewriter, and an answering machine. For three years he worked solo, 15 hours a day, 7 days a week, until his beautiful wife, Nerassia, quit her job and became his assistant. With her help and support, the business he had begun from nothing really took off. Five years ago, Nerassia retired after more than 30 years of dedicated service. For the past 25 years more than a dozen members of Benson's extended family and friends have worked with him. He feels immense satisfaction being able to pay the people he loves twice a month. It is one of the greatest joys of his life. The wealth he has enjoyed over the years is a direct result of capitalism, a system he loves. Benson and Nerassia currently reside in the Phoenix, Arizona area, and he runs his Detroit business from there. Read More Read Less
