ADAM KIEFER

Facilities Coordinator

Adam is for real.  He truly is a really nice person, a people person. He’s the nicest thing to come out of Nashville since Dolly Parton or Nashville Hot chicken.

His people skills have paid off over the years in the work he has done in the restaurant business, working as an audition monitor with the Actors Equity Association, being a pub trivia Quizmaster for 5 years, and working as a Customer Care Representative with the Metropolitan Opera.

Adam works as our Facilities Coordinator, in which he helps maintain the office space and assist fellow employees around the office with technical support, filing, and sometimes providing a positive boost to get through the day.

Although he works here all day, Adam lives a double life as a musician playing in several musical projects from the tiniest cabaret settings to Off-Broadway. He has received his Bachelor of Music degree in Classical Percussion Performance from Belmont University, and his Masters in Percussion Performance from New York University. Often after he leaves the office, you should expect him to either go practice for a few hours, head to a rehearsal or performance, or take a night off to catch up on life.

Hidden Talent: Adam once successfully performed the Heimlich maneuver on a choking victim, and once earned 2nd Place in a college speech contest with the topic of “The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and their Effect in Pop Culture.” Adam is not only a real person, he is a real gem.
