Dr. Stancil E.D. Johnson is a psychiatrist and frisbee enthusiast.

He is a member of the International Frisbee Hall of Fame[1] and the Disc Golf Hall of Fame.[2]

He is considered a pioneer in competitive disc golf and the history of the sport. In 1975, he wrote Frisbee: Practitioner's Manual and Definitive Treatise.[3] He is currently working on a book about disc golf.

Between 2000-2007, he was the first instructor at California State University, Monterey Bay to teach a disc golf class.
