Johnny Buscema Jr. is the President and CEO of Safe (S.A.F.E.) Structure Designs is a Christian-based global leader Defense Contractor of ergonomic safety-first support equipment for The Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Space Force, U.S. Coast Guard, and Special Ops. He launched S.A.F.E. Structure Designs LLC 2016 out of Las Vegas, Nevada. He led S.A.F.E. Structure to its success as a leading U.S. defense contractor specializing in designing, engineering, and manufacturing customizable solutions for military requirements.

The extensive S.A.F.E. product line serves air, land, sea, and space projects. S.A.F.E. Structure has supported the DoD worldwide with its American-made products, and with currently seven manufacturing facilities located strategically throughout the USA, each has its own unique set of capabilities, allowing unlimited capacity and capability. Johnny attributes all his success to his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and is known for saying that “although we oftentimes don’t understand what Jesus is doing in our life, if we are obedient and faithful to the word of God, then when it’s revealed to us later we will not be disappointed… And that is because Jesus never lets us down.”

Before founding S.A.F.E. Structure Designs, Buscema was the President, CEO, and majority partner for All Metal MS. Under his six-year leadership and natural skills in business operations and financial management, All Metal was pulled from the brink of bankruptcy, and Johnny was instrumental in tripling the company’s gross sales and manufacturing output. Buscema’s early career in financial investing likely gave him the expertise to manage cash flow effectively, cut costs, negotiate with creditors, and restructure the company’s debt.

It was in 2001 when Buscema joined one of the largest financial services firms in the U.S., John Hancock. With his relentless will to succeed, Buscema’s determination took him straight to the top of the financial world. Three years later, with his acute knowledge of financial investments and a strong family history in real estate construction, Buscema opened his own land development company, Stylistic Designs Developers—a Clearwater, FL, general contracting firm that specializes in residential, commercial, and medical facility construction which is still thriving to this day.

Early Life and Career 

Buscema was born in Long Island, NY, but was raised in Florida, where he obtained his degrees from the University of Florida. He proudly bleeds orange and blue as a Gator Alumni and former collegiate athlete. As a men’s track and field team member, Johnny was an exceptional hurdler and tirelessly committed to an Olympic career. He competed in the SEC and NCAA and qualified for the 110M High Hurdles Olympic Trials.

Johnny’s Olympic dreams stopped when he injured himself just two weeks before the trials. With his Olympic dream behind him, Johnny has returned to the sport by volunteering as a track and field coach at several middle and high schools in Florida, Nevada, and Illinois. In 2001, Buscema joined John Hancock Financial Services as a Financial and Investment Advisor. He quickly rose to the top of the financial world and became one of the youngest financial executives within John Hancock to open a satellite branch in New Port Richey, FL.

2005 Buscema launched Stylistic Designs Developers (SD2) in Tampa, FL. For 35 years, this entrepreneurial venture has proven highly successful and has an exceptional reputation for taking an ethical approach to construction management. The company’s residential, commercial, and medical construction portfolio boasts many modern CRE, multifamily, single-family residential, medical facilities, and land development projects. In 2010, Buscema passed his partnership interests between his father, John Buscema Sr., and his former U.F. teammate, Robert Covington, while he shifted his business interests to All Metal MS.

Innovative Industrial CEO

In 2010, Johnny Buscema Jr. partnered with All Metal MS, an industry leader in designing and manufacturing commercial solutions that optimize safety. The company specializes in maintenance stands, hangar equipment, portable field equipment, and specialty tooling for the aviation industry. This type of equipment has become essential to workforce safety initiatives nationwide by improving safety and decreasing hazards for mechanics, equipment operators, and industrial workers. 

The gains Buscema created for All Metal empowered him with a new vision that would lead in the DoD by providing tailored customization to meet the United States Department of Defense requirements. He founded S.A.F.E. in 2016, leading the company to new heights as an industry leader and defense contractor supplying customized mission-critical equipment.

Under Buscema’s leadership, Safe Structure Designs operates under Christian values attributed to the company’s staggering growth. S.A.F.E. has expanded into delivering ergonomic and safety solutions to several industries. What sets the company apart is Buscema’s decision to provide custom design solutions to fit the unique needs of the United States Department of Defense. After an initial site visit and determining the DoD’s unique requirements for a project, S.A.F.E. enlists its engineering and design team to create a customizable solution that maximizes the fighters’ safety, efficiency, and ergonomics.
