Dave Johnson
Biography

Two-time Olympian Dave Johnson won the decathlon bronze medal at the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games while competing on a broken foot. USA Today tabbed Dave as the "world's best known bronze medalist."

Since those games, Dave Johnson has been made famous by the dueling "Dan vs. Dave" Reebok ads. And while it is true that Dave is comfortable in front of a camera, you'll most likely find him with his family and support group in Salem, Oregon or making appearances on behalf of one of his causes.

Already an accomplished public speaker, Dave is comfortable in front of a microphone, in front of a group and on camera. He has appeared on numerous TV shows as a guest and as a guest-host. His featured appearances in Reebok, Pert Plus and Ryder truck commercials, to name just a few, have shown off his natural charm and boyish good looks. He is also a "cause-related person," very aware of his impact on young children and always striving to be a positive role model.

Dave Johnson is now an assistant principal and athletics director at a high school, and enjoys speaking on the importance of athletics in education.

How does Premiere Speakers Bureau's 'Zero Cost Service' model work?

The speaker covers our commission from their standard honorarium as payment for our role in marketing and managing their engagements.

How are speaker fees structured, and what is typically included?

A speaker's fee typically covers the keynote presentation, a pre-event planning call, and standard customization. Travel expenses are usually billed separately.

What are the standard policies for speaker travel and expenses?

Travel expenses are negotiated during contracting. We generally recommend a flat travel fee for simplicity, though we also offer line-by-line invoicing when preferred. PSB ensures these expenses adhere to professional standards, and our Event Portal allows for easy tracking and invoicing.
