OUR TEAM
Adam grew up in Cookeville, Tennessee graduating from Tennessee Technological University with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Civil Engineering. His concentration of study was structural design, but he realized as he was approaching graduation that his passion was construction. He started his career as a field engineer for Charter Construction in Nashville and quickly moved into the office as a project manager. He obtained his professional engineer's license and became both a LEED Accredited Professional and a licensed general contractor while with the company. During his time there he helped grow the company through use of the latest technologies in the office and field. Adam's progressive experience there allowed him to transition into the Operations Manager role for Lithko Contracting's Nashville BURG. Lithko is the #2 Concrete Contractor in the nation. During his tenure there, his leadership helped Lithko move into the structural concrete market in Nashville, growing the office from $12 million to over $60 million in annual revenue. Through relationships he had built in the industry, Adam then had an opportunity to partner with a developer in Nashville. Elmington Capital Group had a desire to add a construction company to their portfolio. They had several complex concrete projects in the pipeline that allowed Adam to utilize his past experience to value engineer these projects and provide the most cost-effective and efficient options possible to the investors. Adam quickly transitioned into the Vice President of Construction role for the organization. During his time there, he was involved with the deals from birth through budgeting, design, estimating, value engineering, construction, and closeout. He worked closely with the owners and future tenants throughout the process. He was involved with individual projects in excess of $45 million and helped to grow the company's annual revenue to over $50 million. Adam is a lifelong Tennessean who is blessed to have a beautiful wife and four sons at home. His passion continues to grow as The Graceway Group moves into the future.
