Adam Fishman

Principal, Fairmount Properties

Education: Bachelor’s degree in finance and economics, Miami University

What Success Looks Like to Me: Leaving the world better than we found it, taking care of those around me and having fun along the way

Favorite Quote: “Once in while you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right.” — Robert Hunter (a great American poet and songwriter)

If I Could Trade Places With Anyone: Having just read Cameron Crowe’s autobiography, The Uncool, if I could somehow transport back to the early ’70s and be him at 16 years old, interviewing the Allman Brothers, that would be amazing.

My Leadership Style: Direct honesty, kindness and a strong desire to make decisions and move things forward

If I Could Star in a TV Show or Movie: Maybe Kevin Kline’s character in The Big Chill. He seems like a good guy who loves to have his family and friends around. But we would have to eradicate his attendance in that school up north. In my version they would all be Buckeyes!
