INSTRUCTOR

Mr. Johns is the Web Design and Foundations of e-Communication instructor here in e-Communication. He began teaching at Olathe Northwest in 2018.

Mr. Johns came to e-Communication after many years in corporate America as a Graphic Designer, Web Designer and Brand Marketing Manager as well as owning his own web design business for over 15 years. He continues to design and develop websites in 2022 as a freelancer to keep his skills current in the industry. One of Mr. Johns’ favorite things from College was appearing at various events around the midwest as Gumby.

Mr. Johns has taught Web Design at the Art Institutes International and recently Johnson County Community College part-time for the last 7 years and will soon accent that role at JCCC with a similar part-time online position at Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU.edu).

Mr. Johns always tells everybody that his job here in e-Communication is the “best job he has ever had in his life” because of the amazing e-Comm kids and the team he works with, but he truly means it!
