Dave Johnson was born in Montana and graduated from Crescent Valley High School in Oregon in 1981. When he was a child he excelled at a multitude of sports and showed interest in several areas of athletics, including baseball, track and field, basketball and boxing.

After high school he matriculated to Azusa Pacific University in California and began training in the decathlon. Over time he became an Olympic caliber competitor and won a spot on the USA Track and Field Team for the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games.
