Background

About Johnathan Boring

I always believed I belonged in the business world. I began my own business when I was 13. I was in the lawn care business starting out with one yard and in two years I had over 50 yards making an average of $700 a month. When my little brother was old enough he worked under me giving me a leadership role. When I wasn't mowing lawns in middle school/high school I was playing football, lifting weights, or traveling to camps. With the money I made from mowing lawns I paid for football camps I attended. I also paid for the gas and hotels for each camp I attended, which helped me develop a strong work ethic. By going to these camps I earned a scholarship to play football at Troy University. I graduated high school a semester early to begin my career in the classroom and on the field. I have worked small side jobs to earn a little here and there through my years at Troy which helped keep me humble. I graduated with my undergrad in Fall 2016 and quickly after started my MBA in International Management in Spring 2017. I finished my MBA in December of 2017. It was hard to complete my undergraduate and masters within the five years at Troy while working side jobs, but it taught me persistence, toughness, teamwork, and dedication. I previously worked for Great Southern Wood Preserving from 2018-2021. In my role as an Import Coordinator I forecasted purchasing, inventory management, logistics coordination, PO entry, invoicing, quality control, supply chain, planning, vendor relationships, & price negotiation for all products from Argentina, Chile, & Brazil. I used Excel, Word, Power Point, & Outlook daily to help manage all responsibilities. I currently work for Lakeland Industries as a Global Planner. My wife and I were married in March 2018, in Huntsville, AL where we reside now.
