Charles Johnson was born in New York and raised in Hawaii. He launched his first career (as a jazz guitarist) in the mid-1970s. Extensive recording credits include at least three albums that went gold: Reach For It by George Duke, School Days by Stanley Clarke, and Live in London by Al Jarreau. He was a member of Richard Page and Steve George's pre-Mr. Mister band, Pages and is featured on the band's biggest hit "I Do Believe in You."
He later co-founded CodeHead Technologies, which marketed productivity and desktop publishing software (mostly hand-coded in assembly language) for the Atari ST computer. In 2001, Johnson founded a web design firm called "Little Green Footballs" with his brother Michael. Little Green Footballs began as a testbed on the company's website.
Johnson was raised Roman Catholic but now considers himself an agnostic.
Johnson is a co-founder of Pajamas Media, selling his stake in 2007.
