The Full Story

I’m Dean Turrentine-Johns, founder of The Bryant Heritage Group — where strategy meets mission to drive innovation and results. With 25+ years of executive leadership in community development, including my time as Chief Program Officer at John Boner Neighborhood Centers, I’ve led transformative initiatives that break down silos, strengthen systems, and deliver measurable impact.

My academic foundation in Sociology and Organizational Management complements my career experience — equipping me to understand both the human dynamics that shape communities and the organizational strategies that fuel long-term success. From improving academic and financial outcomes to securing millions in funding and forging lasting partnerships, I bring a solutions-focused approach grounded in data, vision, and action.

At The Bryant Heritage Group, I’m passionate about helping mission-driven organizations operate smarter, serve deeper, and lead stronger.

Let’s build what’s next — together.
