My name is Adam Bowman and while I consider Norfolk my home at the moment, it hasn’t always been that way. I was born November 21st, 1993, in Memphis, Tennessee. By the age of three I had already moved from Tennessee to South Carolina to California and by fourth grade I was already attending my third elementary school and had moved to the Philadelphia suburbs. By the summer going into my freshman year of high school, I was on the move again, this time to the suburbs of Chicago, and no, my parents were never in the military. Luckily that was my last move as a child and after my senior year of high school I moved to Madison, Wisconsin attending the University of Wisconsin in 2011. Seven years and countless snowstorms later put me at the summer of 2018 and my most recent move. My family had been out here for about a year after my sister went to William & Mary and in September 2018, I moved from Madison to Norfolk. Now another seven years later, Virginia is much more than another stop on my journey through life, it’s my home. Working full time as a sales officer for TowneBank, I’ve been able to set up permanent roots here purchasing my first home in Norfolk in 2022 and getting engaged just earlier this year. The future is always unpredictable but I’m looking forward to becoming an active member of the Chesapeake community for years to come.”
