Adam Davis

He has since self-published three books, one of which is an Amazon Best-Seller for law enforcement. As a small business owner, author, speaker, advocate, and most importantly, husband and father, Adam believes the most important thing we can do is invest in the lives of other people, and he does just that through the words he writes and speaks.
