About Me
Johnny Allan Smith’s Journey Through the Art of Storytelling
Johnny Allan Smith was born in Indiana in the 1950s and grew up in a difficult, unstable home that prompted him to mature more quickly than most.
By fourteen, he was running a nightclub and stepping into an adult world far too soon. As a teenager, he moved to Vancouver, where he survived the streets through hustling, dealing, and navigating the dangers of a life most people only hear about in passing. Now at sixty-eight, Johnny looks back on a life marked by hardship, rebellion, resilience, and survival. From a troubled childhood to a turbulent youth and the complicated years that followed, he has lived through experiences that shaped him into a man with a sharp perspective, a tough sense of humor, and a deep understanding of what it means to endure
