Adam received his Bachelor’s Degree in Materials Engineering – Biomaterials from Clemson University
He joined the Chatham Group as a Technical Recruiter after 5 years of experience developing engineered polymer and ceramic materials with applications in the exploration, evaluation, and extraction of oil and gas reserves, both offshore and shale-based. As a Plant Engineer, he cultivated experience in Process, Production, Quality, and Reliability Engineering disciplines while managing a warehouse that was shipping and receiving hazardous materials and reagents daily.
Many of his projects focused on Manufacturing Circularity, a term given to describe specific actions taken under the umbrella of production sustainability, such as recycling various raw materials and catalysts, finding marketable applications for waste products, and refurbishing and enhancing the reliability of production equipment to increase throughput and yields. Working with engineered materials on the bleeding edge of the Petroleum Engineering Technologies industry gave considerable experience in general Product Innovation as well as Customer Insights Management since meetings with key industry players and consumers were used to develop products targeting existing market voids.
