Todd Johnson

Todd Allen Johnson was born on February 23, 1968, In Minneapolis, MN, the son of Alvin and Charlotte (Suchy) Johnson.  When Todd was four years old, the family purchased Shady Elms Resort in Alexandria, MN.  His early passions in his childhood were dinosaurs and Matchbox cars which led to some of his grown up passions, including dinosaurs and cars.  He attended Garfield Elementary School until his family sold the resort and purchased a farm near Miltona.  He then transferred to Miltona Elementary School.   He attended Central Junior High and graduated with honors in 1986 from Jefferson Senior High.  At Jefferson he was active in the Choir and was on the Tennis Team.   Todd met many of his life long friends in these early years.

After graduation he attended Moorhead State University and then transferred to St. Cloud Technical College where he received a degree in Architectual Drafting.  He worked at Comcept Solutions as a software consultant which brought him to North Carolina and then to St. Petersburg, Florida where he lived for many years.

In 2015, Todd decided to move back to his hometown area of Alexandria to be closer to friends and family.

Growing up on the lake and at the farm led to another life long passion for the outdoors, including hunting and fishing.
