You’ve heard you’re running for a cause, but have you ever wondered who Kiwanis is?
Today we are spotlighting one of our members, a man dedicated to both country and community.
Captain David Johnson is a Bronze Star recipient whose impact spans military service, professional excellence, and community engagement. Commissioned as a Second Lieutenant after graduating from Florida A&M University, Johnson served as an Infantry Officer with the Florida Army National Guard from 1990 to 2004, assigned to the 3rd Battalion, 124th Infantry Regiment, 53rd Separate Infantry Brigade. Following military service, he has dedicated more than 25 years to the financial services industry and currently serves as a Financial Services Professional with New York Life, helping individuals and families plan for the future.
Proud to call him a Kiwanian!
