I started by looking into this guy, Dean Johnson. I mean, who is he, right? Turns out, he’s worn a bunch of hats. I initially bumped into him because of that old show, “Hometime.” He was a co-host there for like, forever—25 seasons or something crazy like that. It got me thinking, “What’s this guy’s deal?”
So, I dug deeper. I found out that beyond TV, Dean’s also a musician. His debut album, “Nothing For Me, Please,” got some good vibes in Seattle’s music scene. That’s pretty cool, going from fixing houses on TV to making music. This guy’s got layers, I guess.
Digging into His Past
Then, I went on a bit of a history hunt. The dude’s 64, lived in a few places, and even went to the University of Minnesota. He started out in Atlanta, but he’s also spent time in Mankato and Edina. I guess the guy’s moved around. But there’s more. It looks like he’s also an attorney and has some background in academia. It’s like, what hasn’t this guy done?
His Music Career
About his music career, it seems like Dean’s pretty chill about it. He’s not rushing things, which is a change of pace from all the TV and legal stuff. His website, and a few mentions here and there, show he’s got this casual approach to his music, like he’s in it for the love, not the fame. I stumbled upon his colored vinyl records, which was a nice touch.
Personal Life
I found out that Dean was also a husband, a writer, and a radio host. Sadly, he passed away in 2021. People seemed to really like him, calling him a friend and a comfort. It’s always sad to see someone go, especially when they’ve touched so many lives.
Then There’s LinkedIn
- Found him on LinkedIn, too:
- Has a huge network:
- Talks about tech stuff:
I also stumbled upon a Dean Johnson on LinkedIn. He’s based in Detroit and seems to be into all this tech stuff—managed services, cybersecurity, cloud storage. I’m not sure if it’s the same guy, but it wouldn’t surprise me. He’s got so many interests.
So, that’s Dean Johnson for you. He’s been on TV, made music, practiced law, and maybe even dabbled in tech. He lived a full life, and I enjoyed learning about him. It’s cool to see how people can wear so many different hats in their lifetime.
