In this new role he will be responsible for managing the city’s historic preservation program and properties and the Cultural Grants and Art in Public Places programs.

Prior to his role at the City of Miami, Adams established the Historic Preservation Program at the City of Boynton Beach. He also served as executive director of the Broward Trust for Historic Preservation and historic preservation planner for West Palm Beach. Before moving to the U.S., he held positions in the United Kingdom, including heritage planner for Historic Scotland and project manager for various historic properties, overseeing their rehabilitation.
Adams also has held voluntary leadership roles, having served as chair of both the Palm Beach County Historic Resources Review Board and City of Boynton Beach Historic Preservation Ad Hoc Committee.
Adams holds a Master of Arts in Conservation Studies from the University of York, a Bachelor of Science in Land Economics from the University of Paisley, and a Certificate in Building Construction and Management from the Glasgow College of Building.
