New Horizons, located in El Segundo, CA, was founded in 1987 by Howard R. Johnson (a US Navy Veteran) and his long time friend Larry McCubbins. After Larry's passing in 1989, Howard's wife, Nancy, joined the team as the General Manager which started the foundation as New Horizons becoming a family owned and operated business.
Howard's initial knowledge of aircraft ignition systems started with radial engines and was taught to him by his mother, Margarite Ridens aka Maggie. Upon completion of his training in the Navy, Howard moved in the jet industry working on more modern and high energy systems of today.
