Primary Skills/Experience:
My name is Michael Johnson, I am a husband and a father of my 12 year old son Brandon, I was born in Oakland California, however, I was raised in Atlanta Georgia. There, I attended and graduated from Wheeler high school. After graduation, I worked in both the retail and restaurant industry for several years where I discovered that I truly enjoyed providing excellent customer service. Over time, I continued to seek employment opportunities that would allow me to continue to sharpen my guest service skills, until finally settling down in Las Vegas Nevada, where, I was fortunate enough to have found gainful employment working in the gaming industry. My last position held, was that of a casino host, until I was subsequently laid off in 2009, due to the sudden downturn in the economy. It was at this point that, my wife and I decided to relocate to Colorado Springs, CO., in the hopes of making a fresh start for ourselves. However, after 3 years of living in Colorado and enduring its harsh winters, it became abundantly clear that we were truly desert people, and decided that it was time to return to Nevada. I am currently in my third year at Afford University in pursuit of my Bachelor's Degree in Sociology; I hope to graduate college, and rejoin the work force, re-energized, and more focused than ever.
