Meet The Founder
Meet Preston “P-Funk” Johnson, Founder and CEO of Detroit Down Tha Way Cornhole 313.
The organization was established from Preston’s experience competing within the cornhole industry. His passion for league play and the sport itself inspired him to create a league and company of his own — one designed to connect the City of Detroit to competitive opportunities while elevating awareness of cornhole and expanding its presence throughout the community.
