An engineer retired from Ford Motor Company, Adrian lives in the Highlands overlooking Crystal Lake and is involved in a variety of community projects.
Adrian's engineering education at what was then known as General Motors Institute was followed by a short stint at GM. Then came many years of employment at Ford Motor Company in Product Development. He was heavily involved in safety issues and takes pride in Ford's part in improving highway safety.

Twelve years ago Adrian took an early retirement from Ford and moved to the Highlands. Since then he has been heavily involved with Mills Community House, the Chamber of Commerce, Parks & Recreation and several other community activities. He travels extensively, partly to pursue a project of visiting the highest point in every state.
