The People Behind 125 Years of Trust

Chairman of the Board

Mark Johnson

Mark Johnson is the Chairman of the Board of Johnson Storage and Moving — a multi-location agent for United Van Lines and Mayflower Transit, headquartered in Denver with locations from San Diego to Miami. Mark represents the continuation of a family business his great-grandparents founded in 1900, and his involvement in the company spans his entire professional life.

After earning an honorable discharge from the United States Marine Corps in 1979, Mark joined the family business full-time, bringing a veteran's discipline and standards to a company already more than 75 years old. Over the following decades, he guided Johnson's geographic expansion beyond Colorado, its entry into the multi-brand portfolio strategy, and its evolution from a regional mover to a national logistics company.

Mark has served as Chairman of the Colorado Transfer and Warehousemen's Association, Director of the Colorado Motor Carriers Association, Director of the American Moving and Storage Association, and for six years as a Director of Unigroup, the parent organization of United Van Lines and Mayflower Transit. He is a former Director of both the Denver BBB and the Denver Police Activities League.
