Brian Johnson

Brian joined Finance & Commerce in February 1998, where his primary beat has been construction and development. Brian graduated in 1989 from the University of Minnesota, where he majored in journalism and minored in Swedish. After a stint at American Airlines in Chicago as a ticket agent/Swedish interpreter, he returned to Minnesota to pursue a newspaper career. Starting in 1993, Brian cut his journalistic teeth at the Oakdale Clarion newspaper, a suburban weekly, where he did a little of everything – and a lot of most.
