Denise Johnson

Denise Johnson grew up in Arizona and graduated from Mesa High School. After graduation, she met and married her husband, a United States Marine, and traveled across the country as he served to protect our nation.

Denise graduated Magna Cum Laude from Texas Woman’s University, Dallas, Texas.  She earned her Bachelor of Science degree in education and is certified to teach general education, special education, and ESL.  Her 30-year career in both general and special education presented numerous challenges and provided many incredible experiences. Upon her husband’s retirement in 2021, they moved to Wickenburg, where Denise completed her teaching career and retired from Congress USD.  

In 2023, Denise was elected to serve as the President of the Republican Women of Wickenburg (RWOW).  Under her leadership, this newly established organization grew from 22 members to over 200.  This rapid club growth was instrumental in helping to ensure Republican victories in local and state offices.  She is currently enrolled in the 2026 Dodie Londen Excellence in Public Service Series, an elite program for Republican Women.  She will complete the program in May of 2026.

Denise and Rick live at Wickenburg Ranch, where they enjoy spending time playing golf, meeting new members, and volunteering at their church and local organizations.

LARRY SCHWEIKART

America’s History Teacher

People call Professor Larry the history teacher you always wished you had.

He’s the rock-and-roll drummer turned teacher who brings history to life—real life—making the characters human, the events relatable and the places vivid. He takes you back in time for a wild adventure that is our past. He shows us how yesterday made us who we are today, and he does it all in his intellectually irreverent “Professor Larry style.”

Who is Larry Schweikart? He’s not only a history guru, he’s a tenured college professor, who once lectured in the halls at the University of Dayton. There, he taught history for 20 years and literally “wrote the book” on the subject. A Patriot’s History. Actually 25 books and counting. Many, New York Times #1 best sellers.

So while the Wild World of History is meant to be fun, engaging and Wow! Know that it has been created and curated by Larry Schweikart, America’s History Teacher, who will take you on a wild ride to understand yesterday, clarify today and turn you into a true wild history lover.
