Adam Johnson

 is a contestant from Survivor: Gilbert Islands.

Profile
Name (Age): Adam Johnson (26)

Tribe Designation: Abaiang

Current Residence: Portland, OR

Occupation: Baseball Coach

Claim to Fame: Leading my Little League team to victory in the local tournament as the youngest coach by at least 10 years.

Inspiration in Life: My dad, 100%. He died when I was only 10, but the stories I've heard about him are incredible. He continued to work to provide for me, my little sister, and my mom even when he was very sick with prostate cancer. He never complained or gave up until his dying breath. His memory inspires the entire Johnson clan in everything we do.

Hobbies: Playing & coaching baseball, hanging out with my buddies at the bar, and picking up chicks.

Pet Peeves: I hate hardasses. I want to have a good time, not be bossed around. Ironic coming from a coach, I know.

3 Words to Describe You: Athletic, competitive, and fun

If You Could Bring One Thing on the Island With You, What Would You Bring and Why?: I'd take a baseball to play an inning or two with my tribe. It would be a good bonding experience for all of us and I could show that I'm a strong player in challenges.

Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: Ever since my dad died, I've never wanted to let him down. I always like to try and succeed at new things because that's exactly what he did and what he would want me to do. I want to prove to myself that I can do one of the hardest things out there - starving yourself for over a month on a deserted island.

What Is Your Strategy to Become the Sole Survivor?: At the start, I want to use my strength to be an asset for the tribe so they won't vote me out. Then, as the game goes on, I'll look to using my social skills to get myself to the end. I'm not good at all the strategy stuff, but if I'm likable enough people have to vote for me to win, right?
