Adam Knolls

Vice President, Broker

I grew up in Central Ohio the youngest of three siblings. I graduated from Bexley High School, with honors in 1981. I graduated with a BSBA in Accounting from The Ohio State University in 1986 and became a CPA in 1989.

I missed school periodically while hospitalized with Inflammatory Bowel Disease from 4th grade on. I had an illeostomy after graduation and have been overall healthy since, My siblings both passed away in their twenties. All of these experiences have inspired me to help others in their times of greatest need, to not be taken advantage of, and to try to keep from taking things for granted.
