He started his working life as a Police Constable in Central London and then moved on to becoming a “Mens Grooming Expert” (which led to him appearing on The Times, The Telegraph, The Independent & GQ).

Adam loves the thrill of new challenges, and meeting new people and can't wait to start his career with Bisnow in Dallas.
