Adam Johnston
President
I’ve owned Balius Marketing and Web Design for more than 22 years. Community engagement is a core
value of the Balius team, and as its leader, I’m involved in a number of civic organizations, including the
Bloomington Chamber, where I’ve served as president. I’m an active Rotarian and past president of the
Bloomington Rotary Club, and I have started a Toastmasters club in Bloomington. I also volunteer for a
number of non-profits, including Loaves and Fishes, Meals on Wheels, and the Strive program for Seniors
at Bloomington Kennedy. As a 13-year member, I also have had the opportunity to serve on the board of
the Mendakota Country Club in Mendota Heights.
I have two daughters in high school who are excellent students! We enjoy hanging out on our 80-acre farm
north of St. Croix Falls riding ATVs, hiking, and enjoying the outdoors. When we’re home in the Twin Cities,
I referee for high school football and basketball, which I’m done for the past 30 years. I also love to read,
play basketball, golf, travel, and going on adventures to see the world.
