Patrick Johnson has worked in journalism for more than a decade, covering communities such as Woodburn, Canby, Silverton and now Wilsonville. He is a long-time Oregon resident, who grew up on Parrott Mountain, going to school in Newberg, graduating from Newberg High School and George Fox College. He spent many an hour at his father’s business on the Aurora State Airport growing up.
Currently he is a part-time reporter for The Wilsonville Spokesman, with his full-time job being watching his two little girls, Violet and Lilly. When he isn’t reading government reports with interest – we are trying to figure out what’s wrong with him -- he can be found on Xbox Live trying to beat 12-year-olds at video games. He has lived in Canby, with his wife Cindy, for the past 10 years.
