Robert L. "Bob" Johnson is a South Carolina native and alum of both Johnson C. Smith University and Belmont Abbey College. With a Bachelor’s degree concentrated in marketing & accounting, Johnson has spent the last 50 years of his life utilizing his education, athletic career, sales experience, and religious community to help improve the lives of others around him.

As a drafted free agent of the Dallas Cowboys and NFL Alumni Association Member, Johnson’s vision is simple: empower those within his network and beyond to give back to their educational institutions. As a husband, father, and grandfather, Robert’s legacy is solidified, but his desire to help extends onward, now fueled by Pay It Forward.
