Leadership

Steven Johnson, Partner, Orion Apex Solutions

Steven Johnson

Partner

Steven Johnson brings more than 30 years of experience in banking and lending, including mortgage and commercial lending, where he consistently ranked among the top producers in his markets. Over his career he has held leadership roles in loan production, market management, and strategy, and has worked alongside business owners through growth, financing, acquisitions, and ownership changes.

Steven founded Orion Cost Segregation, which helps property owners identify accelerated depreciation opportunities, and he advises on mergers and acquisitions. He is also an active investor, with holdings spanning residential and commercial income-producing real estate, multifamily housing, and businesses in the energy sector, including oil field services and aggregate production. As an owner himself, he understands the decisions business owners face because he makes them too.

Steven earned his Bachelor of Business Administration in Business Management from Stephen F. Austin State University, following earlier studies at the University of North Texas. A bilingual communicator, he divides his time between Fredericksburg, Texas, and Medellín, Colombia. Outside of work, Steven enjoys the outdoors and traveling with his wife and two children.
