Dr. Matthew A. Johnson ("Dr. J.") is the founder and president of F.A.M.I.L.Y. Rules, Inc. He is a licensed clinical psychologist. Dr. J. has been working in the mental health profession since 1982. He has a private practice with an office in Grants Pass, Oregon. Dr. Johnson moved to Alaska in 1980 to attend the University of Alaska at Anchorage on a full-ride basketball scholarship. He is a pretty tall guy (6'9") with a sense of humor to match. He scored his first two collegiate points against North Carolina in the Great Alaska Shootout on ESPN. Also, he got half of his picture in Sports Illustrated (his silly teammate was in the way of the other half). He has three children - Levi, Hannah, and Micah. He also has two dogs, Buddy and Bigfoot, and one bird, Kiwi. Dr. Johnson loves his parents very much! Nevertheless, he grew up in a dysfunctional family and understands how the lack of organization, structure, accountability, and communication can lead to marital and family chaos in the home. He has worked with similar families in various treatment settings and has established F.A.M.I.L.Y. Rules, Inc. to combat the cancer of dysfunctional families. Today, Dr. Johnson travels around the country one week out of every month, speaking in five different cities during every tour. He trains psychiatrists, pediatricians, psychologists, social workers, marriage and family therapists, mental health counselors, pastoral counselors, probation officers, teachers, and parents how to use ÒPositive Parenting with a PlanÓ with their families. He receives a 95% to 100% approval rating everywhere he speaks via the evaluation forms.Matthew A. Johnson is the author of 'Positive Parenting with a Plan (Grades K-12): F.A.M.I.L.Y.
