Texas A&M University–Central Texas welcomes two professionals with years of industry and teaching experience to its College of Business Administration faculty this fall. Brian Johnson, a certified public accountant who researches nonprofit accounting practices, and Joshua Wilson, an information-systems technologist, have joined the College of Business Administration.

Brian Johnson

Johnson comes to A&M–Central Texas to teach accounting after nearly two decades in public accounting and teaching. He holds a Bachelor of Business Administration and a Master of Accountancy from Baylor University and is licensed as a certified public accountant and certified fraud examiner in Texas. He is completing a Doctor of Business Administration at George Fox University, where his dissertation examines whether the nonprofit starvation cycle affects the external accounting fees of nonprofit organizations.

Moreover, Johnson spent 10 years as an audit and tax manager at Lott, Vernon & Company P.C., where he planned and executed audits for community colleges, nonprofit organizations, and local governments, oversaw internal control testing, and prepared federal and state tax filings.

In 2021, he began teaching economics and pre-algebra at Providence Preparatory School in Belton, while serving as a deacon for Temple Bible Church, leading the congregation’s finance ministry, and he volunteers with the city of Belton’s Buildings and Standards Committee.

Joshua Wilson

Wilson joins A&M–Central Texas as an adjunct instructor in the Subhani Department of Computer Information Systems. As a Killeen native, he earned a Master of Science in information systems (2018) and a Bachelor of Science in information systems (2016), both from A&M-Central Texas and an associate of science in information technology from Central Texas College.

With more than a decade of experience as an instructional systems technologist at Central Texas College and having previously served as a learning management systems administrator for the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, he began Fat Cat Art LLC to provide IT services and bookkeeping, while teaching management information systems courses as an adjunct faculty member at A&M–Central Texas.

Finally, Wilson has developed open-educational-resource courses for Temple College and collaborated with A&M–Central Texas to enhance system-analysis and management information systems curricula.
