It is all about destiny.
For Justin Johnson, the desire to manage that destiny has led him to make some changes in his life.
“I’ve always been a searcher,” the 39-year-old said. “Being happy, making my child happy is at the heart of anything I’ve ever done.”
Being open to new experiences has led Johnson to make some major shifts in his life in the last few years. One of those shifts occurred in February of this year.
“I resigned my position as a social studies teacher at Ripley High School,” he said. “I had been with Jackson County Schools since 2009, but I ventured out to start my own restaurant, Hot Johnson’s.”
