Meet the Team: Adam B. – Driving Innovation at The Walker Group

BACKGROUND WITH TECHNOLOGY:

"My interest in computers can be traced back to getting my first family computer at the age of 8, back when dial-up modems were our only link to the world and before the days of Windows operating systems. I got my first IT job as a freshman in college when I demanded the IT Department hire me, despite the fact that I didn’t qualify for the work study/program. I was the Student Lead of that department within a year. I eventually transferred schools, but also worked an IT job at my new college, and also lead that department by my senior year.

Following graduation, I worked an entry-level help-desk job, supporting Electric Boat and other defense contractors.

In 2008, I accepted a position at the Walker Group, at first starting in the OnCall Department, before moving to become a field engineer two years later."

MOST IMPORTANT THING ABOUT YOUR JOB:

I love helping my clients! I develop close relationships with my clients, and I live to make their companies and lives better.

FAVORITE TECH DEVICE AND WHY?

My current smart phone, the Pixel 3. My two primary purposes for it are: GPS (so I can get to my clients on time, avoiding any traffic), and as a camera (On average, I take about 7 photos a day. I love photography!)

WHAT WOULD YOUR SUPERPOWER BE?

Currently, it would be to manipulate time.

HOW HAS YOUR LIFE CHANGED
OVER THE LAST MONTH?

Over the last month or so, I have been able to spend more time outside with my son, wife and puppy after work!

FUN FACTS:

Outside of computers/technology, the area I’m most passionate for is music. Listening to, going to concerts, learning music trivia, talking to friends about it, but oddly I’ve never learned an instrument.

I’m an Eagle Scout, and love to hike, canoe, and camp, though I don’t get to do any of those as much as I would like.

My favorite subject in high school was History. I still love learning about it, particularly early American history and the age of exploration.

I’ve been married for 3 years, and my wife and I have a 2 year old son, a 2 year old puppy, and a 12 year old cat.

I love going to museum, aquariums, and theme parks (particularly Universal Studios and Disney).

I can directly trace my family history back to 1790, to a blacksmith from Baltimore named James Baxter Sr.
