Johnathan is the CEO of Ford Office Technologies, a technology solutions company founded with a customer-centric focus. Since joining forces with his father and the company founder in 2010, Johnathan has put his efforts into evolving the company’s technology solutions. Being a Board Member and 2025/2026 President of the Copier Dealers Association allows him to stay up-to-date on best practices and innovative strategies that keep Ford at the forefront of the industry. Johnathan believes that his bachelor’s degree in architectural engineering from Penn State has enhanced his natural ability to translate theoretical concepts into real-world applications, a critical skill in the technology industry. His forward-thinking concepts have led to Ford’s expansion throughout western Pennsylvania, eastern Ohio, and West Virginia.

Johnathan and his wife, Kelli, love the outdoors and beauty of the Laurel Highlands area. He is passionate about supporting his local community and believes that its success, both economically and socially, is driven by the philanthropic involvement of community business leaders. As an Eagle Scout and member of the Westmoreland Fayette Council of the Boy Scouts of America, Rotary Club, Redevelopment Authority of Fayette County Board Member, and formerly a member of the YMCA Board, Fay-Penn Economic Development Council, and Challenge Program Board, Johnathan plays a very active role in supporting the area’s youth, as well as business development, in the hopes of providing future employment opportunities for the local workforce for generations to come. In 2015, Johnathan was honored to receive the Herman Buck Award for volunteerism and services rendered outside of the profession, and has since been recognized as a Pittsburgh Business Times C-Suite Award Winner and a PittsburghMagazine 40 Under 40 Honoree.
