But he honestly never expected that his desire to serve would lead him to politics. So, when approached to run for a seat in the Florida House of Representatives, he was surprised and didn't even know how to get on the ballot, much less how to find the money to win a race that had gone for the other party the previous two decades. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome of what led to his being asked to run was that he spent eight years as a nuclear submarine officer in the United States Navy, had volunteered for an Army deployment during the height of the Iraq War, and received a Bronze Star in the process. In addition, he was personable, smart, dedicated, and caring. In other words, he had potential. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn his break-out book, Adam shares the hazards, lessons, and surprises he, his wife, and his campaign team experienced while running for a legislative office that he was most definitely not predicted to win. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdam wrote this book to give insight to others like him who wish to serve by running for office in their hometown, county, or state.
