Rob Johnson- GHS Class of 1972
What are some of your favorite memories of GHS?
My favorite memories were from my senior as starting guard for the Streaks and Coach Thiel. During summer camp before my senior year Coach had me practicing as a guard. I had always played forward up until then. He said you’re athletic enough to play guard so the rest is history. I wound end up playing guard for the rest of career in college.
What did you do after graduating from GHS?
I went to college playing both basketball and baseball at Carl Sandburg College and Graceland College.
What has been your career?
I worked in oil and gas for almost 40 years in Houston, TX
What are you up to now?
I am retired living in Houston and married.
What advice would you give Streaks athletes today?
Put the work in and you can achieve whatever you want be! I practiced hard during my playing career which served me well in my business career. There is no shortcut for effort!
