Chad Johnson
Inside Sales – Sioux Falls
Chad Johnson lives life in the fast lane – an inside
salesman at DSG by day and a serious motorcycle
racer by night. Johnson has raced motocross and
flat track for more than 15 years (with only four
surgeries!). In fact, he’s even won a number of
points championships across the Midwest.
Johnson’s precision and quickness on the track
carry over to his work at DSG. He first joined
DSG in 1999, working with both electrical and
plumbing customers, then left in 2003 to work at
a motorcycle dealership and focus on his racing
career. In 2007, he rejoined DSG. Now he is part
of the Waterworks Group, where he handles
ordering, fields phone calls, assists with customers’
needs and maintains quality control.
Johnson’s transition from electrical/plumbing
to waterworks provided him with a new twist on the
distribution flow of water. “I was used to dealing

with the above-ground jobs, from the water main
to the residence,” says Johnson. “Now, I work
underground. It’s been a smooth transition so far,
and I’m really enjoying this new angle of my job.”
Just as Johnson needs a quality bike for racing,
he would agree that when it comes to waterworks,
high quality is better. “Our customers see fewer
problems because we sell higher-quality products.
That saves on manpower,” says Johnson. “Man-
hours are money, so it’s always good to save
on those.”
Whether he’s flying down the race track
or working for his customers at DSG,
Johnson is always looking for the best
possible route to success. To contact Chad
