Name: Chris Johnson
Position at OSC: Engraving Department
Tell us a little bit more about what this entails? Throwin’ tactile onto many different plates, and makin’ em look very profesh.
Where did you go to college? Concordia College ’06, Bachelor of Arts in Pre-professional Studio Art, and English Writing.
Where did you start your career? I was stuck in blue collar jobs for a long time trying to pay back school loans.
How long have you been with OSC? 1 month
Favorite thing about your job at OSC? On the best days, it’s like working in an Art Department for 8 hours.
Favorite OSC tradition, event or work perk? I believe I haven’t really attended any yet, However the Brewery visits seem quite tantalizing.
Favorite thing about Fargo / Moorhead? Small town feel that is growing every day.
When I’m not at OSC you can find me….Either playing a board game, or praciticing or playing onstage for one of my bands, or reading a very large book.
Favorite restaurant in town? Izumi Sushi, or Thai Orchid.
Favorite sports team? I don’t really have one. So, in place of that, I will give you my 3 favorite board games, because that is FAR nerdier.

What advice would you give to younger people trying to get into your profession?
Learn as much as you can about the tools you will need beforehand. That way, starting something new is not as daunting because you memorized all the little bits.
