The high point of Johnny's distinguished public service career included serving two terms as a Travis County Commissioner representing Precinct 3 where he sponsored and successfully led county initiatives involving the onset of MoPac, completion of many other road and highway projects and enhancement of county parks. He also gave generously to charities supporting members of the military service and their families. Johnny also led an active, fulfilling, and interesting personal life that included off-road racing, boating, horse racing and owning and piloting helicopters.
