Possessed of the extraordinary but random good fortune of having been born an American citizen, John Adams is mindful of the incalculable debt he owes to those who came before him. His love of history has taught him that the window to the past serves simultaneously as the looking glass to the future. He founded The American Guild to better focus that view in the earnest hope that others would share his vision. John Adams lives in Beaufort, South Carolina with his wife Ellen and his three young children John Henry, Waverly Grace and Matthew Aiden.
