D’VON JOHNSON – D. JOHNSON PAINTING

D’Von Johnson, 2019 Alum and McCluer Grad has been active in CCDI for the past 5 years. D’Von interned with Clayco as a quality control manager after high school. He decided to pursue a career in the painting trades and with the help of CCDI, started working as an apprentice painter for PM Leach. D’Von also wanted to further his education and became an Apprentice Scholar where he worked full day while taking business classes at the community college in the evenings. D’Von noticed there was a need for minority commercial painters in the industry and decided to start his first business venture running his own company, D. Johnson Painting.

DE’HON MULL – CONCRETE STRATEGIES

De’Hon Mull, 2019 BOF Scholar and Jennings Grad joined CCDI in 2018 when he was a high school junior. He attended all our Saturday Academies and was matched with Mr. Tommy Davis, President of TD4 Electrical, as his mentor who assisted De’Hon with buying his first car. De’Hon began studying business at STLCC after high school, but opted to change directions and went into auto mechanics for several years. CCDI reconnected with De’Hon when he was hired on full-time at Concrete Strategies in June to pursue a career as a cement mason with Local 527! CCDI awarded De’Hon a tool scholarship to get him started.
