Skip Johnson loves to see the game in everything he does in life, and to him-- as the Helen Keller quote affirms--he believes that "life is either a daring adventure, or nothing at all." 

The inspirational author and speaker was born on St. Simons i

Island, Georgia, USA and still lives there today, in the town of Newnan, with his wife Anne Marie. 

He graduated with a degree in Political Science from the University of West Georgia and he is Vice President of Operations for the award-winning Gold’s Gyms of West Georgia, outside of Atlanta.

Skip  has a background in competitive tennis, and is one of the 1% of certified tennis professionals world-wide who have earned the certification of Master Tennis Professional by the United States Professional Tennis Association.  

He also has a love for writing, storytelling and teaching, and his life as an author has spanned decades and has seen him write over 50 inspirational articles, as well as produce over 100 inspirational videos. 

But his most proud achievement as an author is his inspirational book, Grateful for Everything, which is available now on his Facebook page, his website and Amazon.com. 

Skip enjoys keeping fit, travelling, reading, writing and speaking. He also directs the oldest independent workshops for school tennis coaches, which he started after graduating from college, which has been running for over 30 years.
