In addition, Johnson is also an adjunct member of the Smith faculty, teaching outdoor skills courses in the department of Exercise and Sports Studies.  His passions include rock climbing, whitewater paddling, skiing and snowboarding, backcountry travel, mountaineering, and mountain biking.  Scott holds several instructor level certifications including ACA whitewater kayak, Canoe, Swiftwater rescue, AMGA rock climbing and wilderness medicine. 

Johnson is a graduate from the University of Montana School of Forestry and Recreation management where he received his education in the mountains as much as in the classroom.
