As founder and CEO of On Target Living, Johnson is a highly respected expert and accomplished executive who has spent over three decades researching and building optimal health and performance programs for individuals and corporations.

Johnson likes to say he was raised by wolves. Growing up struggling with terrible skin and chronic health issues, he had no idea how his lifestyle affected his health. The doctors couldn't help him, and despite all the medications they prescribed, his health did not improve. By his mid-20s, deeply frustrated and feeling hopeless, Johnson set out to heal himself. On his quest, he learned how food affects the body, the importance of sleep, and why people need to move. These discoveries transformed his life. Conditions that plagued him for years disappeared, and his energy and attitude reached new heights. Amazed at how good he felt, Johnson knew he'd found his calling and needed to share his discoveries.

Today, Johnson works with organizations to transform their performance from the inside out. He educates, engages, and inspires teams around the world with his teachings on the importance of resting, eating, and exercising. He provides dynamic experiences focusing on exercise, healthier eating habits, and good sleep to boost performance, and conducts sessions promoting fun, flexibility, strength, balance, and energy. His speaking topics include Change, Corporate Culture, Leadership, Life Balance, Motivation, Overcoming Adversity, Peak Performance, Personal Growth, and Teambuilding. Johnson is known for his high energy, humorous, and interactive style that engages and motivates audiences.

Johnson graduated from Michigan State University with a master's degree in Exercise Physiology and received his bachelor's degree in business and economics from Western Michigan University. He holds certifications from The American College of Sports Medicine, The National Academy of Sports Medicine, and the American Council on Exercise and Certified Natural Health Professional. Johnson earned and maintains a reputation for providing groundbreaking lifestyle modification strategies with integrity, humor, and passion. He is the author of "On Target Living: Your Guide to a Life of Balance, Energy, and Vitality" and co-authored "Capacity: Optimize Your Talent by Removing the Obstacles in Their Path" with Matt Johnson, further establishing his expertise in optimizing personal and organizational productivity and well-being.
