Adam has visited a number of countries and participated in disaster relief ranging from the earthquakes in Hattie to hurricanes in the BVI.  His primary mission is to help foster a sense of hope through the rebuilding of economic systems and the launching of new initiatives to support local business owners.

Adam is focused on Global Impact for this season of his life.  It is his goal to take what he has learned in business and cyber security and help create new economic growth and prosperity for other countries who are just starting their digital transformation.

While not officially a part of any international impact organizations, Adam models his work after those who have come before.  He has based his investment fund, The Ansuz Group, on those values and beliefs.
