According to min, "The 21 Most Intriguing People in Media went above and beyond the clarion call of duty within the last year to create a lasting mark in their sphere of influence and, most importantly, inspire us to ask the question-what are they going to do next? They are comprised of consumer and b2b magazine executives, digital media leaders and media agency and advertising executives who work closely with magazine brands."

Mr. Adams will be honored at a special event on December 9, 2010, at the Grand Hyatt in New York City with executives from Sports Illustrated, Facebook, TV Guide, FourSquare and Rolling Stone.

Mr. Adams manages numerous online communities and social media platforms for Moose River Media, where Mr. Adams is a Vice President. Two of the sites formerly owned by and currently managed by Mr. Adams were named the 2010 winner of min's "Most Engaged Media Brands" and Media Business' "10 Great Media Sites" awards.

Mr. Adams is also a small business consultant, with his specialty being online marketing and social media marketing. "I really enjoy helping business owners recognize the power of the internet and the dramatic and often immediate impact it can have on the growth and success of their business," stated Adams.

A new business Mr. Adams just started in November, Social Media Athlete, is a consulting service for professional athletes to help them leverage their notoriety and fame through the use of social media tools.

"It is unfortunate, but you often hear about athletes who after they retire or leave their sport, run into financial difficulties or you just simply never hear from them again. I am using social media to help them enhance their name, accomplishments and earning power, both now and after their career is finished," stated Adams.

Mr. Adams also owns several other businesses in the Pittsburgh area, including Frankfurter's Hot Dog Shoppe, which was named one of the "Best of the 'Burgh" in the Food & Drink category by Pittsburgh Magazine - http://www.pittsburghmagazine.com/Pittsburgh-Magazine/September-2010/Best-Pittsburgh-Food/ as well The Man Cave Barber Shop, a landscaping company named Mow & Snow, and a variety of real estate in the Pittsburgh area.

Mr. Adams is also working closely with an exciting new company founded in Pittsburgh, www.MyGov365.com, a social media platform designed to bridge the communication gaps between citizens, government and political professionals, creating a feedback loop to enhance the legislative and civic process on all levels.

"Initially I was just an investor, but as my interest in politics grew more and more and I saw the impact this platform will have on the legislative process someday, I knew I had to have greater involvement," stated Adams.
