Rick Johnson

Webmaster

Joined the agency in October 1999

Background:

This Minnesota native likes the metro's western suburbs. He grew up in Edina and now lives all the way over in Tonka Bay, near Lake Minnetonka. He supplemented this distance-deficiency by traveling with a rock band for 16 years.

Education:

After graduating from Edina High, Rick got a business and accounting degree at the University of Minnesota. In his free time, he played guitar for several bands. After college, he played guitar professionally with The Rockin' Hollywoods. He started dabbling with computers in his free time. So like many techies, Rick's computer know-how is mostly self-acquired.

The thing about hobbies...

For Rick, his hobbies have turned into jobs. Which means he's having fun, "I've always had a job where they paid me for doing what I love - first playing guitar, and now building websites." Currently, he spends his free time with his sons, coaching Little League and volunteering with Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts.

Family:

His "greatest parents in the world" still live in the area, and his large extended family gathers for reunions every year. Rick and his wife and their two boys, Brandon who is eleven and Mitchell who is nine, attend regularly.

Claim to fame:

The Rockin' Hollywoods appeared as The Wedding Band in the movie "Feeling Minnesota" with Cameron Diaz and Keano Reeves, who tried out Rick's guitar.
