Our Leadership

Richard Adamo is President of the Adamo Group and brings more than 30 years of experience in estimating, project management, and operations across the automotive, industrial, municipal, and government sectors. Raised in the family business, Richard spent his summers operating heavy equipment, laboring on job sites, and learning the demolition industry from the ground up before earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Construction Management from Michigan State University. Throughout his career, he has led large-scale, complex demolition projects for municipalities, government agencies, and Fortune 500 companies, including Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis. His expertise spans automotive selective and total demolition, industrial and institutional demolition, and high-rise building demolition. Richard is an active member of the National Demolition Association, serving on its Convention and Awards Committees. He previously served on the NDA Board of Directors from 2002 to 2004, during which he chaired both the Environmental Affairs and Awards Committees, helping advance industry standards and best practices.

A dedicated demolition professional, Rick has held numerous positions in his 40-plus year career, emphasizing automotive total and selective demolition, from estimating to field supervisory titles to his current role as project manager. Sound expertise in automotive total and selective demolition requires his involvement in all facets of our projects – bidding, subcontractor negotiations and project management to close-out. In 2025, Rick was inducted into the National Demolition Association Hall of Fame during the NDA Convention in San Antonio, Texas, in recognition of his decades of leadership and contributions to the demolition industry.
