About Kevin Johnson:

Curls out of: Duluth Curling Club

Curling start: "I got started curling when I was 6 years old. Curling has been in my family for generations under the guidance of Larry Barrott and my father, Mike Johnson. I've learned many things from them.

What he enjoys about curling: "I quit basketball so I could curl competitive because I didn't like the fact that I sat on the bench for half of the Basketball game. With curling you are always involved on the team. I also enjoy the friendly atmosphere in curling. It's the only sport you shake the opponents hand before and after the game."

Curling goals: "My goal in curling is to make it to the 'Big Time.' I want to play against the best this world has to offer and take them out."
