William Johnson

Chairman + CFO

How long have you been with ABC?

Five years.

Where are you from?

Born and raised on Long Island.

What do you love about ABC or find interesting about the stone business in general?

I was attracted to ABC for the family-oriented environment, the potential of the company, and the beauty of the product it offers. The knowledge of our staff on natural stone products and the industry itself is unsurpassed.

What is your approach to leadership?

Empathy. Treat everyone how you want to be treated, lead by example and share your experience to develop others. The personnel management and relationship-building skills are equally as necessary as the knowledge and expertise of any leader.

What differentiates ABC from other stone distributors?

In addition to the unique beauty of the natural and man-made stone we possess, our view of the customer separates us from other stone distributors. Our staff supports our clients from A – Z of the sales process and always concerns itself with their best interest.

If you were a stone, what would you be and why?

I’d be Belvedere quartzite as I am reliable, strong, and I don’t scratch easily. At first glance, Belvedere appears to be a primarily black stone, but upon closer inspection, it is quite nuanced with many shades of cream, tan, and brown – there’s more to it than meets the eye.
