About
Adam Karnes
I'm Adam Karnes. I create adult learning experiences. I'm fascinated by business and careers, and how these areas are changing today and will continue to change in the future. I believe that those planning for their career—whether a first job or a career shift—need help moving past the hurdles that tend to hold us back.
The variety of my educational and vocational background gives me the opportunity to share from a range of perspectives. I've been fortunate enough to experience vocational training through apprenticeship, traditional college education leading to academic work, and the world of independent business through freelancing.
When I'm not working, I enjoy spending time with my wife and three girls. We love board games and exploring new places, both in our home state of Oregon and elsewhere.
