A lifelong resident of Tahoe Township and K-12 graduate of Douglas County’s Lake Schools, Johnson’s exposure to Tahoe-Douglas Fire started early with parents of his closest childhood friends being employees of the Fire District. His interest in the fire service grew from his experiences in becoming an Eagle Scout.
He earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Economics from Santa Clara University and competed as a student-athlete. He is a past Chair of the Nevada State Board of Equalization, a position to which he was appointed by Governor Brian Sandoval. Community involvement includes having served on various local boards, task forces and committees. Professionally, Johnson is a commercial real estate appraiser and consultant.
You can find him inside the local CrossFit Gym or outside on the ski hill, trails, lake or beach with his wife, Cathy, and two young children. Always interested in hearing from the community, he encourages the sharing of thoughts, ideas or concerns related to the Fire District.
