His experience both at the chapter and national level has given him great insight and valued opinions. Brian has a high regard for ASA and we have and will continue to benefit from his service.”

Johnson has worked with Soil Consultants for nearly 30 years. His company has been a member of ASA for 30 years. Johnson has more than a decade of service with ASA of the Carolinas, including serving as president in 2007-08. He currently serves on the ASAC Board of Directors.
