Ncadman is the hashtag for David A. Johnson, Chief Creative Officer of Marketing By Majestic in Randleman, NC. David was disappointed that, with a common last name like Johnson, that his parents could not be more creative with a first name. His mother told him that she suggested Christopher Robin (after A.A. Milne's human character in Winnie the Pooh), but his father wanted him to have family names. While having a common name has not created too much trouble for Dave, it has created a few situations where he had to explain that he was not the David A. Johnson being referred to. For example, in the early 90s, Dave had applied to work at a large insurance agency. After four arduous interviews, he was called back for a fifth. In this interview he sat face-to-face with an ex-CIA agent who informed him that he would not be getting the position because he had lied on his application. When Dave questioned him about which part of the application he had lied on, the ex-CIA agent informed him that Dave had forgotten to disclose the years he had spent in a Federal Penitentiary. Dave explained to the man that he hadn't been incarcerated and during the alleged time that he was in jail, he was in fact a member of the United States Air Force. While this information was easily verifiable, Dave was not offered the position. He is grateful that he wasn't because had he gone into insurance, he would not be in a career field that he enjoys as much as marketing. More recently, while attending a chamber after hours event in San Diego, California, Dave met another man with his EXACT name and birthday, born two years later.
