40 Under Forty 2019 winner:
ADAM FLYNN-TABLOFF | 38
DIRECTOR, DAVIES CAREER & TECHNICAL HIGH SCHOOL
What is the best advice you have ever received? “You get more with honey than you do with vinegar.” My mentor repeatedly told me this when I was learning how to lead a large group of professionals.
What advice would you give your 22-year-old self? I would tell myself to not be afraid of change and to believe in myself. It wasn’t until later in life that I realized that I can do whatever I put my mind to.
What moment changed your life more than any other? The birth of my son changed my life the most. Being a father makes me view the world differently and makes me want to fight harder to improve it.
What is your favorite Rhode Island food or drink? R.I.-style calamari, obviously.
Broadcast or streaming? Streaming.
Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or LinkedIn? I prefer Facebook and Instagram, although I find myself enjoying each less and less as time goes on.
THE PROP: Adam Flynn-Tabloff holds a book that students at Davies Career & Technical High School read this year. He also has calipers and safety glasses used in many Davies classes.
