Adam Humphreys was born in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada March 31, 1982 and was raised on Vancouver Island. He is the oldest of 6 with 5 sisters of which he was raised with 3 half sisters and 2 his father adopted in Alberta. He spent most of his growing years playing basketball, acting, reading business books, and designing custom electronic circuitry. In 2000 he won 1st place in Canada for robotics on his 18th birthday at the British Columbia Institute of Technology Skills Canada Robotics Competition with a couple of colleagues. The love for computers came later on.
In 2001 he left college to start his own business when realizing his local college was using too dated materials for them to keep up to the forever evolving industry of information technology. Being on the cutting edge was very important to Adam so he started working directly with the corporations so he could offer his clients the latest, and greatest technological advances while learning about the industry directly from the pros. After spending two years in business in 2003 he moved on to work for Microsoft in TS to see what the average North American business/consumer was really looking for in information technology. At the time there was nothing but dot com crashes, and the market was flooded with former Nortel employees.
Adam saw that the market was overly saturated, and that there wasn’t too much room for growth at the time so he decided to move to Alberta to try his hand in the oil field he kept hearing about. After spending 3 years in Medicine Hat, Alberta working in the oil patch Adam decided to return to information technology after much encouragement from friends, and co-workers. On June 15, 2006 he decided to move to Calgary to get back into IT consulting, web development and IT business solutions often outsourcing for SMB to Fortune 500 companies under his small business Fresh Standard IT Business Solutions. After meeting his (now ex-girlfriend world famous luxury Interior Designer Laura C. Bielecki Adam spent 10 months in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
