Adam Johnson
After my folks moved us out of our suburban home in Hinsdale, Illinois, to Galena when I was 6, I developed a love for old buildings and the craft of building in the pre-modern era. I worked around the country & ended up back in Galena, where my wife, Cynthia, & I raised our daughters, Sophia & Izabella.
