When Did You Start Working with Pacific Building Systems?
Adam’s journey with Pacific Building Systems began on a bright summer day—July 24th, 2023. We were hiring for a Components Direct Specialist and hoping to expand this division going into the fall. Adam had an impressive resume and nailed the interview, leading us to feel confident about bringing him on board.
He’s officially been here for one whole month and his presence has been a valuable addition to our team. With his background and experience, he has seamlessly transitioned into his role, bringing with him a wealth of knowledge and expertise. We’re excited to see what his time here with us will hold.
What Have You Learned From Being With Pacific Building Systems?
Adam is no stranger to the steel industry.
His journey into the world of steel products began with his work as both a steel fabricator and a burn table operator. Of this time spent working hands on with steel, Adam said this was, “My initial introduction to the world of steel manufacturing and [it] gave me the opportunity to learn the trade and gain knowledge about the industry.”
This initial exposure must have really ignited his passion for steel manufacturing, and we’re grateful it did because it led him to dive deeper into the intricacies of the trade. Ultimately, this interest in working within the steel industry brought him straight to the doors of PBS.
His time with us has been an opportunity for continued growth and learning, building upon the foundation he established in the early stages of his career. We hope he will continue to learn about what goes into using steel to create our top-of-the-line pre-engineered metal buildings.

His love for his canine companion, Lucy, is evident through their outdoor adventures together. He spends his free time taking trips with her to national parks and various swimming holes throughout Oregon.
Additionally, he values his role as a support system for his family that are in the Salem area and has also pursued a creative outlet as a self-taught artist. Through oil painting, he channels his creativity, constantly striving to refine his skills and express his artistic vision.
We asked him what made him find a passion for painting, to which he said, “When Covid shut everything down I used painting as an outlet for my creativity and [now] work to improve my skills on a day-to-day basis.”
