Thanks for visiting, I'm a digital advertising guy by day, outdoor lover in-between and travel junkie. My wife, son and dog; friends, family, job, bikes, networking, bodyboarding, mountain biking, cold beer, good wine, easy-over fried eggs, drums, card games and being better today than I was yesterday are some things I value and enjoy. The cup is always half 'full' and I like to make things happen. Welcome, howzit, please browse around and get in touch, take care, Adam, aka Ads.
