Adrian had a happy childhood growing up in Humboldt County in the small town of Redway, CA. He attended South Fork High School in Miranda which was the same school that his uncles and father attended as well as his siblings and later his nephews.

Adrian loved the outdoors and relished the time he spent there. His hobbies included hunting and fishing. In later years Adrian became an avid gardener and kept the family well supplied with his home grown produce. He was also a great cook and enjoyed replicating his mother's "famous" potato salad.
Adrian and Pat lived in Booneville for a few years before moving to Ukiah. Adrian was a hard worker and started "World Carpet Cleaning" (now "World Services). He became a general contractor who was proficient at floor installation, black mold remediation and cleaning up smoke and water damage. His partner and dear friend Devereaux(Nathan) Cash still operates this business.
