SKIP JOHNSON

Skip’s Story


Meet Skip Johnson

As a business coach, advisor, and investor, I’ve navigated the complexities of running businesses, leading a non-profit, managing investment properties, and stewarding a historic farm—all while integrating faith, family, and entrepreneurship into a meaningful life.

I’m married to my best friend, Amy, and together we’re raising three incredible daughters. We’ve experienced both the joys and challenges of building a life around what matters most.

I co-founded Riverbend Refuge, a non-profit retreat center dedicated to refreshing leaders and helping them discover purpose and clarity in their calling. We’re also active in our church, leading the Kingdom Builders team to encourage generosity.

A former All-American wrestler, I now scratch my competitive itch on the golf course, slalom skiing, or elk hunting in the backcountry. Summers are spent on the farm and the lake with family, while fall takes me to the mountains for elk hunting.

Connecting people, opportunities, and capital comes naturally to me. My passion lies in aligning these elements to fuel growth, generosity, and lasting change.

It’s possible to win at work and at life.

Our mission is clear: to guide you and your business toward better destinations, fostering both professional growth and personal fulfillment. At Tailwinds Group, we're more than coaches; we're your partners in steering toward success without sacrificing well-being.
