Chip Johnson's father and mentor, Bill Johnson, worked for the same company for 51 years and his example is a huge part of Chip’s work ethic. His mother, Gloria McMullin, retired from Sears and continues to teach dance lessons throughout the mid-south. His siblings are Keith Johnson, Louie Johnson, and Pamela Dickerson.
After his six-year enlistment, Chip returned to Desoto County and immediately purchased the restoration franchise that he had worked for in high school. He was elected by his fellow franchise owners in the southern region to represent their interests on the company advisory committee. In 2004, he won the Franchisee of the Year award. In 2001, Chip was encouraged by his neighbors to run for Alderman. He ran a strong race and won the seat. While representing the citizens of Ward 4, he saw that Hernando was at a crossroads with the rapid growth and no real controls. He pushed hard for the adoption of design standards and these rules were in place for a large part of the commercial growth. When Mayor Gale announced that he was retiring, a large group of people asked Chip to run for Mayor. After an election with four candidates and a run-off, Chip became the mayor of Hernando in 2005.
