Myles Garrett Invests in Ex-NASA Scientist’s Energy Company

Cleveland Browns star Myles Garrett, as an alternative of pursuing the standard options, invested his money in an unexpected enterprise: an energy company that may be a member of the National Inventors Hall of Fame.

Johnson Energy Storage (JES), an organization owned by former NASA scientist Dr. Lonnie Johnson, announced that the NFL defensive star has invested in the corporate.

“It’s an honor to partner with Johnson Energy Storage to support their mission to transform energy storage,” Garrett said in a written statement. “Their work is nothing short of visionary, and I’m excited to be part of an effort that has the potential to have a lasting impact on our environment and uplift our communities.”

Johnson’s company is targeted on developing a proprietary, all-solid-state battery. Johnson Energy Storage has said its batteries offer benefits over traditional lithium-ion batteries, including improved safety, higher energy density and lower production costs. Garrett’s belief in the corporate relies on the facility of technology to drive significant social and environmental change. The company desires to bring more efficient and safer energy solutions to market.

“We believe the power to change the world extends beyond industry to making a lasting impact on our communities and future generations,” said Brandon Martin, CEO of Johnson Energy Storage. “We are honored to have Myles Garrett join us in this mission, as his commitment to innovation and sustainability aligns perfectly with our vision for the future.”

Garrett, an All-Pro defensive end, also supports Johnson’s nonprofit, the Johnson STEM Activity Center. Other notable investors in Johnson Energy Storage include comedian and actor Steve Harvey; Disney CEO Karey Burke; Southern Company CEO Chris Womack; United Talent Agency partner/agent Mike G.; and United Distribution chairman Doug Hertz.
