Johnnie is a licensed Texas attorney and certified mediator since 2004 as a graduate of South Texas College of Law in Houston. He is also a retired Chief Master Sergeant with 29 years of service in the US Air Force Reserves.

Johnnie loves dogs and loves helping people. He became an attorney in order to help those in need and to be of service to others. Joining the Board of Directors of Vision Guide Dogs, Inc. and becoming their legal advisor is a continuation of that same drive to help those in need. What greater mission is there than helping the vision impaired gain the freedom of independent mobility.
