About Us

A founder of Adams & Associates of Stonington, Connecticut, a window cleaning and property care company, and Adams and Adams Building Services, Inc., a commercial janitorial services company based in Enfield, Connecticut. A self-taught businessman, he started at the bottom and in slightly more than a decade rose to receive the Hartford, CT Chamber of Commerce’s Small Business Leader of the Year Award. His company was also named to the Springfield, MA Chamber’s Fabulous 50 list of leading privately held companies two years in a row.

During a 15-year career as an Air Traffic Controller with the Federal Aviation Administration, John often dreamed of starting his own business. In August of 1981, President Reagan fired the air traffic controllers who had gone on strike that summer—including John Adams. That is when John launched Adams and Adams Building Services which grew to over $3.5 million when he sold it in 1996 to follow his passion of helping others discover Miracles at Work through his 10 Principles of Upside-Down Thinking and 10 Practices of Business Success found in his book: Miracles at Work: Building Your Businessfrom the Soul up.

Now John has started a new venture, Adams & Associates, to put his talents and the philosophy of Miracles at Work back into action. John is a world traveler and sailor who likes to write about his adventures exploring the cultures of the world on a shoe string budget.
