Adam is a marketing sales representative for Status Group. He is a Chicago native who grew up in the heart of Pilsen. Because Chicago is a world class city that has many great restaurants he get asked a lot what his favorite place to eat at is. You can generally find him at any hole in the wall restaurant eating a charred burger and fries with some nacho cheese on the side.

When it's time to burn off those calories you can find Adam doing what he loves to do the most. Getting away from the crazy city life, taking photos, hiking, biking, kayaking and camping with his best four legged friend Toby.
