Corporate Life
In 2018, Adam was recruited for a position with Facebook, Inc. at their global headquarters in Menlo Park, CA. Excited for change, Adam accepted the position with Facebook’s Global Security Intelligence and Investigations (GSII) program as a Regional Investigator, and then relocated from Wisconsin to Silicon Valley, California in January, 2019. As a seasoned investigator, Adam greatly enjoyed working for Facebook. However, after 10 months in the position, Adam found himself surrounded and lead by colleagues who did not have: 1). investigations experience; 2). formal education; 3). law enforcement experience; 4). Management/leadership training or experience; 5). or all of the above. Adam quickly learned that most of his colleagues and “managers” lacked real-world experience and education in the investigations realm, and that education and experience were not valued in GSII. Accordingly, in late 2019, Adam transitioned from Facebook to a hotel start-up company located in Dallas, TX.
When Adam is not conducting investigations, managing Stealth Advise, attending class, or traveling the world, he enjoys blogging and writing literature reviews about criminal justice matters, international travel, and the automotive industry.
