Self-Made Is A Myth - Make A Difference Together

Brian Adams was born and has lived in Indiana his entire life. He has been married to his best friend Anne for 39 years and has three children Emily, Sarah and Kevin.

The business remains in the family with a third generation at the helm.

After graduating from Franklin College in 1983, Brian spent 11 years in public accounting working primarily with family owned businesses, focusing on financial statement audits, business consulting and litigation support.
