Meet the SDP Team
Johnny Polansky
CEO and Founder
Johnny Polansky is the CEO and Founder of Starcat Digital Presence, built around a simple idea: your digital presence should match the strength of who you are in the real world. A lifelong storyteller, Johnny has spent decades as a professional photographer and musician, traveling the world and performing with artists including The Wailers and Bob Weir of the Grateful Dead. He currently performs with Grammy-nominated C.J. Chenier and the Red Hot Louisiana Band.
Johnny’s photography has been widely published, and his creative work extends into documentary filmmaking and editing. In 2026, he completed a journey decades in the making, returning to Ohio University and earning two degrees in History and Interdisciplinary Arts, focused on photography and music.
A father of two daughters, Johnny brings the same principles to business that have shaped his creative and personal life: storytelling, relationships, resilience, and Stoicism. His philosophy is simple — control what you can, keep moving forward, and get in the car.
