He pursued that idea and soon parlayed his love of the outdoors into an occupation.
Friends enjoyed his adventure stories; one even suggested that he write a book.
After graduating from UT with a degree in economics, Johnny spent an ever-increasing amount of time in the wild, becoming more skilled in a variety of environments.
Today, he averages nearly 200 nights out per year.
That first trip was a disaster; nevertheless, Johnny discovered an affinity for the outdoors that would lead him to backpack and canoe-camp throughout the United States over the next three decades.
It all started on a backpacking foray into the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
During his college years, he developed a love of the natural world that has since become the primary focus of his life.
Born in Memphis, he moved to Knoxville in 1980 to attend the University of Tennessee (UT).
