Lisa Intro As a newly appointed employee of the City of American Canyon, I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself to you. My name is Lisa Johnson and I have joined the Parks and Recreation Department as a Program Coordinator for the Senior Center. Most people would say I am a career “Recreator”, because I have over 30yrs experience working in the field. I recently retired from the City of Mill Valley after 16yrs as a Recreation Supervisor. After retiring early I wanted to get back into the field part time, so here I am! I am very excited to start this next chapter in my life. I am looking forward to meeting all of you and having the opportunity to add a little more “Play” into your life. On a more personal note, I currently live in Vallejo with my husband, Andre. I enjoy reading, crafts, kayaking, watching Giants baseball, hanging out with friends and family and recreating.
