Adam Bardi, Owner & CEO, Bardi Heating, Cooling, Plumbing
Adam Bardi is many things: loving husband to his wife Heather, Girl Dad of two beautiful daughters, and the proud Owner/CEO of Bardi Heating, Cooling, and Plumbing. Adam has several primary influences that he credits to making him a successful entrepreneur. The first being family. Growing up as a First Generation American, Adam learned the importance of work ethic and the privilege of pursuing the American Dream. Adam’s father instilled important values in him.
Adam believes that being reared by an entrepreneur was the key to his success because he saw first-hand what it takes to be successful. Sports also heavily influenced Adam. As an avid sports fan and former athlete, sports taught Adam how to be a team player and the power of collective action.
He believes that Bardi is the best home service company to work for in Atlanta because of its employees. Adam loves being an entrepreneur because it gives him the ability to provide opportunity. For Adam, it’s not just about the success of his company, it’s about changing lives.
