About Us
Bruce & Heather Johnston
Bruce and Heather Johnston created the Parenting Teens In Transition content from their personal journey with their children and from their experience as directors of JH Ranch for over 40 years. After seeing the content transform families for decades, Bruce and Heather are now opening up this life changing content for the world to engage through the Parenting Teens In Transition website. Bruce, the eldest son of the 12 Johnston children, opened the Ranch in 1980 after his Father, Gene Johnston, purchased the property. Since then, Bruce and Heather have grown and expanded the Ranch ministries to include Scott River Lodge, JH Outback, JH Outback International and JH Israel. Heather serves as the Founder and Director of JH Israel, which has partnered with the city of Ariel, Israel, to build the Ariel National Center for Leadership Development. Bruce and Heather currently reside in Birmingham, Alabama. They have two children, a son-in-law and two granddaughters.
