About the host

Hosted by Doug Johnson

Host profile image
I am a life-long Texan. I grew up in Beaumont. Moved to Austin in the mid-70's and graduated from UT in 1981. I have two grown children who both grew up in the house and where I still live. I have owned the place for over 30 years. In the summer of 2017, I converted the existing 18' x 24' barn at the back of the property into a guest cabin. It is a perfect addition to my small home for when friends and family come to visit, and where I am now pleased to host traveling guests. I am a retired engineer doing part-time consulting work.
