Dr. Ervin Michael Johnson grew up in High Point, NC. And has since his adolescent years, served as a figure of motivation and public service to communities on an education, political and philanthropic platform. While a student at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, he noticed the condition of the communities in the area. The shooting, the murdering, the discord and quickly wanted to do something. Dr. Johnson began networking with communities around him, specifically in the socio-economically challenge neighborhoods where the killings were happening, and began to foster a voice to combat killing, school drop-outs and education.

While pursuing his doctorate, he served on the Richmond City Police Departments Faith-Based Leadership board to foster relationships between communities and police officers. Serving as a staple in the community, he created partnerships with agencies and placed programming inside of failing high schools to keep students involved, ultimately, pushing them to graduate with a direct interest in a field of academia.
