Johnson joined the University of Texas faculty in 1994. His initial job was as an assistant director in housing. At that time Johnson was in charge of maintenance in dorms and apartments in University center. Two years later he became the director of facilities management and started working toward making the campus as accessible as it is today. Johnson worked closely with Jim Hayes and the office for students with disabilities with providing accommodations throughout the campus, as well as with individual students.
