Joseph Adams

I thought I should introduce myself; I am Joseph Adams. I grew up working in a family photography business where I was expected to start working at age 5. I quickly learned that the work had to get done and you just had to work hard until it was finished. I worked several other jobs during high school, usually getting promoted regularly because I showed up early, left late, and worked hard. I continued to work for the family business when they needed me but worked pizza, tire boy at a motorcycle shop, excavation, and then as an off-road motor sports salesman.

After high school, I went on a 2 year mission for my church serving the people of Indiana. When I returned home, I started college where I studied finance and business while working full time for our family business. My dad wanted me to start running the company and after I met my wife and decided I was going to marry her, if she'd take me (she did), I quit college to run the photography company with my family. I quickly realized that we as a company would have to grow so I started studying marketing. After many years and growth we decided to merge with a nationwide company. I worked for them for a few years but had an interest in finances and investing so when an opportunity arose I left to pursue that new career path. I enjoyed helping protect people by getting set up with life insurance, helping business owners start investing and building wealth, and working with people who are close to retirement make sense of their situation and enjoy life.

I like what I am doing and feel that with State Farm I can help people protect and realize their dreams while having the opportunity to tap into the resources of a great company and build an incredible team and office.

While away from the office I have many hobbies that I enjoy with my wonderful family. We love camping, riding, hiking, and playing ball! Anything to get us out of the house and out in our wonderful mountains.
