Peter Johnson
Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer
Rad Golf
Though he was born in Mesa, AZ, he grew up in Guam until he was recruited to swim competitively for the University of Arizona. Being a collegiate competitive athlete requires immense dedication and drive and helped shape Peter into the leader he is today. He qualified for the 2000 Olympics in Sydney and ran the Olympic torch for Guam. In college, he recognized his natural talent for networking and business development and earned his bachelor’s degree in Communication with a minor in Business.
A serial entrepreneur, Peter started his first business when he was only 10 years old, cleaning up neighborhood yards while balancing school and swim practice. After college, he helped grow his family’s custom cabinetry business to a multi-million-dollar company. He then transitioned into a hybrid world of tech, construction, and engineering as President of Eco PACT, a sustainable products solution for the packaging, storage, shipping, distribution and manufacturing industries. The company became tremendously successful, working with Fortune 500 companies across the globe. From there, he became president of KloudBlu, an innovator in wireless communication devices and asset tracking.
While running KloudBlu, a friend (now business partner) purchased an electric scooter from overseas to use to get around the neighborhood. One ride and Peter was hooked, but he noticed several design flaws that could be improved. After a year of research and development, Peter and two friends founded Phat Scooters. Soon they couldn’t keep up with demand, and the garage start-up transitioned into a full-time business.
Also enjoying the game of golf, he saw the opportunity to use the scooter as an alternative to the golf cart and disrupt the golf space with a new and fun way to enjoy the game. Seeing the success Phat Scooters had in the golf space, Peter and another partner wanted to create that same buzz and disrupt the space again with innovative and exciting products, which lead to the start of Rad Golf. Rad Golf is a technology company seeking to create innovate products that enhance the golfing experience while being easy and fun to use.
