MEET OUR FOUNDERS

A Husband-and-Wife Team with a Heart for Business and Community

We’re Hal and Ellen Johnson—partners in life and in business—driven by a shared passion for helping companies thrive and communities grow. With deep roots in economic development, real estate, and finance, we’ve spent our careers supporting business owners, developers, and decision-makers through some of their biggest moves.

 

Our core business, NAI READY, remains focused on real estate, site strategy, and economic development, and along the way, we've realized something:

 

As we worked closely with clients, we kept running into the same challenge: they didn’t just need help finding the right location—they needed help improving their bottom line. We saw strong companies struggling with inefficiencies, hidden costs, and missed opportunities—simply because no one had ever shown them where to look. That realization lit a fire in us. So we got to work.

Through strong third-party partnerships, we now offer ancillary services that enhance operations, uncover hidden savings, and improve long-term financial performance—all without shifting our focus from real estate.

Today, we help businesses uncover the dollars they didn’t know they were losing, and reinvest them into what matters most—their people, their purpose, and their future.

Think of it as bolt-on support that helps your business not just grow—but grow more efficiently and profitably.

Because when business owners win, communities win—and that’s what we’re here for.
