building new skills

With a Master’s degree in reach, Keenan Adams has no plans of slowing down the learning process when it comes to Project Management.

Keenan Adams, 29, grew up in Bainbridge in a construction oriented family. Locals would recognize Keenan as the Bearcats kicker from 2007 to 2011, and rightly so. Keenan was an accomplished athlete earning a D1 scholarship to Colorado State University. Aft er two years there, Keenan transferred to Georgia Southern where he would receive a degree in construction management.

In 2015, Keenan accepted a Project Management position for MetroPower, an industrial electrical contracting company headquartered in Albany, Ga., with a branch located in Decatur County that currently employs 80 people. Keenan has worked there for seven years managing accounts and industrial projects such as, the BASF plant in Attapulgus as well as the most recent project announced in Bainbridge, Danimer Scientifi c’s new greenfi eld development. He describes the role of MetroPower in simple terms. Georgia Power supplies the electricity to the site, and MetroPower takes it inside the building where they perform all the hookups to operating equipment.

In late 2019, Keenan began the process of obtaining his Master’s in Business Administration for Georgia Southern. He expects to graduate from the program this Spring. When asked why he wanted to pursue his Masters, Keenan said, “As I grow deeper in my career, I am fi nding out that construction is only a part of it. Th e business side of my career has really piqued my interest. I have enjoyed learning new skills and growing in my knowledge of business as a whole.”

Keenan is not only serious about his professional career, but also giving back to the community that gave so much to him. Keenan spends much of his time pouring into the First Port City Bank Youth Leadership class through his Chamber involvement. He is also a Deacon at Grace Church, where he and his wife, Aubrey, and his two sons, Brayden and James are faithful members of the congregation. Keenan was most recently appointed to the Planning Commission Board, the arm of the city government that conducts public hearings relating to the City’s master plan for growth and other special studies, rezoning, and variances. Keenan looks forward to serving the community in this capacity. “I enjoy seeing the community grow and look forward to being a part of the exciting things to come in Bainbridge,” Keenan commented.

Th e Chamber is pleased to highlight Keenan as he is an investor in not only his professional growth, but the growth of the community as well. Keenan’s vision goes beyond his backyard, which will in turn create a positive impact on Bainbridge for years to come.
