Born in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota, Johnson graduated from Detroit Lakes High School in Minnesota in 1985. He received a triple Bachelor of Arts in economics and political science/history in 1989 from Concordia College and attended Georgetown University Law School, earning a J.D. in 1992.

Johnson then practiced at the law firms of Lord, Bissell and Brook in Chicago and Parsinen, Kaplan & Levy in Minneapolis. He joined Cargill in 1998, etc. etc.

Interesting though: during his short-lived presidential campaign I read a short bio - in the WSJ, probably.

And it said that during his whole life (then) he never moved beyond 50 miles from where he was born. Schools, jobs, all in the vicinity.
