David Johnson has spent 25 years as a rainmaker, whether it be for an advertising agency or a Fortune 500 corporation. He excels at grasping the needs and desires of his clients and delivering a result where everyone wins. Nothing terrific happens, says David, “without a relevant big idea and putting in whatever needs to be done to close a deal.”

David grew up in Minnesota and was awarded a scholarship to college as a star quarterback, playing for South Dakota State. He earned his BA in Business Administration at the University of Minnesota, Carlson School of Management.

Father of five boys, his two youngest are in the Westport Public School system. He lives at Compo Beach with the award-winning interior designer, Holly Jaffe. Together they’ve renovated numerous properties which always seem to land in the pages of magazines. It’s a little bit of paradise down here, he says, and is passionate about finding that for his clients. A successful abstract painter, an inherent understanding of the visual, aesthetic, architecture of and and results in the magic that turns a house into a home.
