An Unforeseen Destiny

A friend talked Dan Johnson into accepting a job at Jonco Die Co. Inc. Twenty-six years later, he's still there, and can now add the 2005 IADD Diecutter/Diemaker of the Year Award to his list of achievements.

"IT WAS NEVER my goal to be a diemaker," said Dan Johnson. "As far as that goes, I didn't even know what I was getting into." But on May 19, 1979, only 48 hours out of Northwestern Bible College with a major in ministries and a minor in psychology, Johnson found himself hired at Jonco Die Co. Inc. as a flat die knifer.
