A note from the desk of Ed Johnson, Jr. - Owner:
Little did I know that what began many years ago as a college study program in Jerusalem for my younger brother, Matt, would turn into the family business of E.M.J. Enterprises. Each member of the Johnson and Antonsen families has developed a special love for the people and land of Israel after spending significant amounts of time there for vacation, volunteer work, study, and for the month-long celebration of Matt and Franziska's wedding in 1996. After each visit, the one memento that we were sure to bring home was a beautiful Balian ceramic wall tile. Not only were these tiles a favorite of my family, friends and relatives would regularly have us bring back "special orders" for their own homes or for gifts. During an extended visit to the Holy Land in the Fall of 1999, Matt and I met with Neshan Balian to establish a plan to have tiles specially designed for us and imported to Highlands Ranch, CO, from where our newly founded business, E.M.J. Enterprises, could make them available throughout North America. At the very same time, E.M.J. Enterprises began its publishing division with the delightful book "Christmas Time in My House" by the mother-in-law—daughter-in-law team of Marty Johnson (author) and Franziska Johnson (Illustrator). Marty Johnson's second book, Raise Up A Child with daughter Sue Antonsen (Photographer) is now available. Signed copies can be ordered from this website. It is my hope and the hope of all of us at E.M.J. Enterprises that these products will inspire you in your everyday living (Romans 12:1-2), bringing out the best in families throughout the world. Sincerely, Ed Johnson, Jr., Owner E.M.J. Enterprises Updated bio: Ed, Jr. has a new career in Homeland Security. While never giving up living the concept of family, as shown in "Raise Up A Child", or the reality of Christmas being a year-round celebration, ie, Marty's "Christmas Time In My House" poem/gift book, Ed has completed his Bachelor of Science degree in Criminal Justice with an emphasis in law enforcement and his Masters of Science degree in Security Management, both with honors. He is currently working as a manager in the field of Homeland Security in Colorado. |
