Jim Johnson, a retired fifth-generation Minnesotan, splits his time between Minnesota and Montana, where his four grandchildren and their parents are conveniently situated. In addition to skiing, fishing, and biking with family and friends, his current compelling project is the research and writing of a book about the 1862 U.S.-Dakota War and its aftermath. Jim’s professional career had strong entrepreneurial and technological components, including deep experience in product development and marketing. In 1984, he started his own firm, AMADOR, a conformity assessment (testing and certification) company that worked in the nexus between technology and government policy.Professional Organizations• CISPR-B, Comité International Spécial des Perturbations Radioélectriques Industrial, scientific or medical (ISM) equipment subcommittee, U.S. representative • Industry Functional Advisory Committee for Standards for Trade Policy Matters, Member• American Council of Independent Laboratories, Inc.
