Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, Tim Johnson developed a love for basketball at an early age. He attended Springfield Gardens High School in Queens, New York, where he established himself as one of the top players in New York City. After graduating, he continued his playing career at Nassau Community College before transferring to Farmingdale State College, where he completed his collegiate basketball career and earned a bachelor’s degree in Sports Management.

Following his playing career, Johnson transitioned into coaching, gaining experience at every level of the game. Along the way, he developed a passion for teaching, mentoring, and helping student-athletes grow both on and off the court. His dedication to the game and commitment to developing young people ultimately led him to SUNY Sullivan, where he now serves in his first season as the Head Men’s Basketball Coach.

With SUNY Sullivan’s historically rich basketball tradition, Johnson is focused on bringing the program back to the level of success it has long been known for. Through hard work, discipline, accountability, and a commitment to excellence, he looks to build a winning culture and a program that players, alumni, and the entire SUNY Sullivan community can take pride in.
