After spending over four decades in a few career fields, and helping my wife through three bouts of chemotherapy for cancer, I decided to retire as soon as my wife was eligible for Medicare. This eliminated the need for me to continue working for the health insurance.
She is able to work part-time as a mental health case manager as her illness is once again in remission. We decided I should retire from the three weekly newspapers here because of the demand on my time.
Retirement will give me more time to spend with my wife, Karen, our grown children and our grandchildren. However, there is only so much TV one can watch in a 24-hour day without going a bit stir crazy, and three months of complete idleness has prompted me to start looking around at possible projects that will both occupy some of my excess free time while also providing a little income so I can spoil the wife and grandkids to the extent they deserve.
I enjoy writing and using my editing skills to make young writers become better writers. Prospective clients can give me a writing assignment and expect it to be finished well before deadline and be well-written. If they have a writer who just needs his/her work "polished" before publication, I am also up for that.
I have had success as a journalist with several regional AP, UPI and Louisiana Press awards, as well as awards from both state teacher unions for education coverage and the state mental health association for a comprehensive special section on mental illness and the need for more funding and care options.
While working with the Rapides Parish School District I also completed a course in strategic planning. In this position I wrote daily news briefs to send to area media, served as the superintendent's "press secretary" and speech writer, and as staff member leading a community involvement campaign, a strategic plan initiative, a technology plan program and a comprehensive overhaul of the district's employee pay plan schedule.
I was raised in Louisiana from the age of 9, living in Florida, Puerto Rico and Texas before that as my father was stationed at Air Force bases in those area. We stayed put while he finished his 20-plus years in the service with deployments to the Philippines and Vietnam and a final year stateside in Arkansas.
For purposes of potential clients, what is important to know is that I have a wide and general knowledge of many subjects. I am as comfortable discussing basketball courts as I am federal courts. Politics, religion, business, sports, human interest, education, crime/courts have all been frequent sources for my articles and features throughout the years.
If additional information is needed, please be free to contact me.

Greetings! I'm Johmyrin (Joe) Johnson, and I'm passionate about utilizing my unique and diverse skillset to enhance and improve the individual and organizational challenges of my clients!
My background, didactic training, and experience vary across multiple competencies. In the education and non-profit sector, I have experience in curriculum development and training. My passion in education lies in creating equitable and diverse spaces representative of the populations served at each level of the educational experience. I am an expert at managing grant cycles from proposal inception to post-award reporting, having founded and run an Adult Literacy non-profit in response to the vast need in New Orleans.
In the business sector, I have been responsible for creating operationalized systems while managing all business functions - including but not limited to HR, payroll, purchasing, grants, and financial management. My past responsibilities have afforded me experience in crafting SOPs and operation manuals. These have guided the business processes of both private and governmental organizations.
I have had the unique pleasure of assisting patients with medication counseling and drug management through my background and training as a licensed Doctor of Pharmacy. However, in the medical sector, my passion is circumscribed about original clinical research and its impact on patient health outcomes.
In my downtime, I have been responsible for managing the social media pages and philanthropic efforts of NFL and NBA professionals, driving development and giving to their platforms so that they might serve greater populations.
My diverse background in education, business, and medical sectors make me a perfect fit for a myriad of executive-level duties and professional tasks.
