Paradise Valley resident Adam Goodman gets out of bed every day to make an impact on the community in various capacities as CEO of Goodmans Interior Structures and board chair of the Phoenix Symphony, Banner Health Foundation and Arizona Center for Investigative Reporting.
Before taking on the 70-year-old, family-owned furniture company of three generations, Goodman worked for newspapers after college with the ambition to become a publisher. He remains active and committed to preserving journalism.
“I looked at what it was about newspapers that moved me so much,” Goodman said. “I realized what I love about newspapers is it can shine a light on a societal problem and in-spire change.”
