Meet Co-Founder Brenda Johnson

Office Administrator and Bookkeeper

Brenda Johnson is co-owner of Preferred Hearing Centers, with her husband Mark Johnson. At Preferred Hearing Centers, Brenda fills the role of office administrator and bookkeeper. Brenda is a Florida native who spent her early childhood years in Clewiston, FL.  At the age of eight, her family relocated to Fort Myers, where she lived until 2005.

After high school, Brenda joined the Lee County Tax Collector’s office and worked in various positions. Her last years there were spent as the lead manager of a large special assessments department. Her skills in customer service, record keeping, payment processing, staff management, and all things clerical were enhanced and developed during her employment.

After resigning from the Tax Collectors office, Brenda took a position as administrative assistant at her local Fort Myers church. She loved being involved in the church life, and also in serving the pastors and members. Brenda also served as the singles ministry leader until she married Mark.

In 2003, Brenda met Mark at a church event (sounds like a movie title).  They were joyfully married 9 months later.  In 2005, they moved to Englewood, FL where they built a successful hearing aid business from the ground up.  Englewood was a delightful place to live.  After ten years, and with three offices up and running successfully – they were made an offer they could not refuse.  A Corporate Hearing Aid Center purchased the business.

Shortly thereafter, the decision was made to move back to Orlando, Mark’s previous hometown.  The grandchildren, who live in the Orlando area, were a big motivation for the move. Shortly after arriving in Orlando, Mark & Brenda started Preferred Hearing Centers and have built it into one of the most successful hearing aid offices in Florida.

The role of nana is the best position Brenda has ever had, and spending time with her grandchildren is her favorite thing to do.  Her hobbies include reading, walking, and cycling.  She is an avid nature lover and enjoys time on the beach or hikes in the woods.  She and Mark currently attend Embassy Intl. Church in Orlando where they serve in several capacities.
