The movie From the Rough was later made about Adams' team and coach. The game of golf led Adrian to meet his wife Sindi, as she was his caddy while he was a golf pro after college.

Adrian was a member of the Farmers Insurance Group for 10 years and was a member of their President’s Council, given to only 1/2 of 1% of Farmers agents in the nation.  Adrian left Farmers Insurance to build an Independent Agency in order to provide the most options to the Adams Insurance Strategies client base.  Adrian's belief is to have a client for life we must provide them with the most choice possible and Adams Insurance Strategies does have the most available carriers in the market today.
