Oscar Morejon
President & Founder
As President and Founder of John Bell Construction, Morejon inspires and empowers his team to strive for total excellence. His drive and curiosity gave birth to a culture of continuous learning, determination, and success unlike any seen before. A natural leader, Morejon became the man and founder he is today thanks to his family and his faith. If it wasn’t for his father’s lessons in hard work and teachings of the value of a dollar, Morejon would likely not be where he is today.
See, when Morejon turned 15 years old, he asked his father, Rafael Morejon, for a car. His father said he’d get him a Ferrari. The following day, Rafael gave his son a pressure cleaner and said that if he pressure cleaned enough houses, he could buy whatever car he wanted, including the coveted Ferrari. From that day on, Morejon pressure cleaned, painted, and repaired his way through college and beyond. It was during that time that he founded his first company, a handyman business, and then landed a job at the prestigious Suffolk Construction. There, he rose from intern to Assistant Superintendent at the MET 3 project in Downtown Miami, where he managed over $150M worth of work and built one of the most iconic buildings in this city.
Despite his success, Morejon still felt that being a business owner was his true calling. He kept seeing that the market needed a construction company that showed up on time, was fairly priced, and was SET APART from the other contractors. So he, along with his supportive wife, Isabella Morejon, did what came naturally to them; they prayed on it. They put their family and financial future in the hands of God. It wasn’t until they felt His presence and received His calling that they decided, together, to pursue their dream. That’s when John Bell Construction was born.
Since then, Morejon has been recognized as an outstanding professional in the South Florida Business Journal’s 2020 40 under 40 Awards and has joined Florida International University’s Dean’s Leadership Council for the College of Engineering & Computing. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he has successfully been able to lead, maintain, and support his staff and projects while still keeping the company’s culture intact.
Morejon holds a bachelor’s degree in Construction Management from Florida International University and is a State Certified General Contractor.
