Iowa Customer
Bruce
Johnson, President
As President of Viking Forest Products, Bruce leverages the customer
perspective he has gained through 22 years of broad-based experiences in
the lumber business. Having worked as a buyer for a wholesale
distributor, a retail contractor, a do-it-yourselfer yard and a truss
plant before becoming a trader, he understands what it means to sit in
the customer’s chair. Bruce applies that knowledge in upholding the
company’s longstanding pledge: “We do what we say we’re going to
do.”
Bruce
has lived in the Minneapolis area all his life. He thoroughly enjoys the
outdoors and the diversity of seasons (“You have to if you live
here!”). His special interests include cross-country skiing, golf and
hockey. However, most of his own interests have temporarily taken a back
seat to his children’s demanding schedules – and he wouldn’t have
it any other way!
Bruce
and his wife, Peggy, feel blessed and grateful to have their two
children, Erik, 17, and Christina, 15.
