Behind the Scenes at Five Blocks: Adam

Next up in our employee spotlight series: Adam, an Account Manager who’s been with Five Blocks since 2017. Whether he’s problem-solving for clients or pushing through a workout, Adam’s all about consistency and showing up.

Let’s get to know him.

How would you describe your job in a single sentence (or emoji)?

IMPACTful 🤪

What’s a valuable lesson you’ve learned from a work experience?

The value of a good reputation! There’s a reason that Five Blocks has been as successful as it is. It’s so important for our clients to keep their reputation high.

What’s a fun fact about yourself that most people wouldn’t know?

I kind of like to workout 🙂

Fitness started as a hobby of mine almost 10 years ago, and since has become a key part of my life. I truly believe that getting into fitness has helped make me a better person, both in and outside of the office.

A small thing that always makes your day better:

A good cup of coffee.  And, not to sound like a broken record, but a good workout. Even if it has to happen at 6 am, I always feel better having had a good workout.

Favorite snack to keep at your desk?

Protein yogurt. Snack on them every day. Not only does it scratch the ‘snack’ itch, but it also is a good way to eat more protein (which is important to me). 

What’s your spirit animal, and why?

Wolf. Quiet and strong. Always thought they were very cool.

One food you could eat every day and never get bored of?

My boring chicken salad. It’s pretty simple, but gets the job done. Some peppers, cucumbers, chicken breast and a dressing.

What unique skill or expertise do you bring to the table that benefits the team?

Fitness 💪

I joke that I am the CFO – Chief Fitness Officer. But outside of fitness, I am always happy to help with a task or anything that a colleague needs.

Beach vacation or mountain getaway?

Mountain for sure!

What made you first feel like an adult and why?

Probably when I had my first kid. Took a whole 30 years to finally feel like an adult. 😜

Adam, thank you for sharing your story with us — and for the reminder that the same discipline it takes to show up at the gym every day is probably what makes you so good at what you do. More spotlights are on the way, so check back soon.
