Springdale, AR, April 26, 2017 --(PR.com)-- About Monte Johnston

Monte Johnston was born in Fort Smith, Arkansas. He is currently the owner of Automatic Auto Finance
in Springdale, Arkansas. Mr. Johnston earned his B.A., Magna Cum Laude in Finance at the University of
Arkansas, Sam M. Walton College of Business, and graduated as Outstanding Student of Finance (1992).
He interned with Stephens Inc. Investment Bankers in Little Rock. After his internship with Stephens
Inc., he pursued his desire to build and lead his own business. He began by operating A&C Services, a
temporary employment agency in Fort Smith. This was followed by a partnership to launch an
international food brokerage company, Alliance International, in Fayetteville. In 1997, he established
Automatic Auto Finance.) In addition, he is heavily involved in the residential construction business in
Northwest Arkansas. He and his business partner have owned and operated Signature Builders, Inc. for
more than a decade. They develop land and construct an average of 50 homes a year. His newest
challenge is the Medical Marijuana (MMJ) Industry. He is in the process of partnering with Green Leaf,
LLC to form Green Alternatives, LLC in Oahu, Hawaii (expecting to receive one of only eight licenses to
be awarded in 2016.) His objective is to legally provide our Wounded Warriors with an alternative to the
medications that are currently available. The intent is to provide pain medications that do not create
addictions that only prolong and increase the physiological scars to the physical and mental ones they
already experience. He feels strongly and is deeply committed to this generational opportunity. Mr.
Johnston has demonstrated that leadership and know-how can run in families. His family has been
connected to the farming community in Arkansas his entire life. Following in the skilled footsteps of his
heritage, he has thrived in the business start-up world and developed an impressive portfolio.

Automatic Auto Finance (AAF) based in Springdale, Arkansas has multi-location dealerships and offers
customers with credit challenges the opportunity to purchase and finance reliable vehicles on site. The
company's sales model was paired with a solid related finance company (Jorja Trading, Inc.) which has
been in operation since 1997 and is continuing its success. He was named Professional of the Year 2017
in Automotive Sales and Management by Strathmore's Who's Who and was once honored as a leading
business professional under the age of 40 in Northwest Arkansas. He has also appeared regularly as
panelist and speaker with the National Alliance of "Buy Here Pay Here" dealers. Mr. Johnston's time off
from his numerous business ventures is spent in personal training and, most of all, spending time with his
family, including his beloved daughters.
