John AdamsFranNet Franchise Consultant · serving clients nationwide

Hey there! I'm John Adams, but you might know me as the Too Tall Franchise Guy. I love helping people figure out the best path to business ownership, and having some fun along the way. With over 35 years in banking, telecom, and software, I've led teams, managed big projects, and developed strategies that get results. I'm currently Chairman of the Greece (NY) Regional Chamber of Commerce, a board member of Buffalo Niagara Sales and Marketing Executives, and a member of the Webster and Southtowns Regional Chambers of Commerce. I also earned my MBA from the Simon School at the University of Rochester. When I'm not working, you'll find me with my family, my pets, or behind a camera lens.
