Together, Adam and Kelli have eight children ranging in age from 7 to 25. They strongly believe businesses have a social obligation to give back to their communities and they have served on the boards of several business and community development organizations, including the Lake Chelan Chamber of Commerce and the Seven Acres Foundation. They are major donors to non-profit community service organizations in North Central Washington and have committed to Pledge 1% , donating 1% of their business income and 10% of their personal income to local non-profit investments to better the community.
