About

Dominique “Peak” Johnson is a North Philadelphia native and a graduate of The Community College of Philadelphia and Temple University.

Peak (as he is often called) took an interest in journalism at the age of 12 when he and a group of teens in his community started work on the Project HOME publication, The North Philly Metropolis.

Before taking on different editorial roles with The Metropolis, Peak often wrote about his North Philly community as well as other topics that piqued his interest. Unfortunately, the paper ended in 2008.

Since then Peak has interned and written for The Philadelphia Public School Notebook, The Philadelphia Weekly, WHYY,  The Huffington Post, and other publications both print and online.

Currently Peak can be found freelancing, working for Project HOME and obsessing over “The Walking Dead.”
