JEFF JOHNSON
STATE DIRECTOR, AARP, ST. PETERSBURG
Johnson has a master’s of divinity and started doctoral work on Christian political thought but abandoned it to work in collegiate and professional sports — “which some would say is America’s true religion, anyway.” He moved back to Florida to sell tickets for the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, and one of his first group sales was an AARP Night at the Ballpark. He joined AARP Florida as an event planner and program specialist 20 years ago.
