Lion President David and Lion Dan inducted new member Adam Kehrli.  A BIG LION ROAR to welcome Adam. 
 
I am Adam Kehrli, new Lion. I have been married to my wife, Melissa, for almost 27 years. We have 2 children, Jackson, 19, and Paige, 13. Jackson is a United States Marine, and Paige is a volleyball player.  
 
I was born in California and raised in southwest Missouri. Melissa and I moved to Denver in 1998 when I began law school at the University of Denver. I have practiced law in the personal injury space since 2001, having previously worked for insurance companies. However, now I proudly represent individuals injured by the conduct of others. 
 
In my spare time, I enjoy cooking and making real BBQ. I also enjoy card games, whether poker, spades, or gin. I am an enormous sports fan, rooting for the Colorado Avalanche and (shhh) the Kansas City Chiefs (Super Bowl Champions). 
 
I joined the Lions because I want to give back to those who do not have. The Lions is a great service organization, long recognized as a leader in giving back, especially to those with eyesight problems. I want to not just give back but also make an impact on the lives of children. 
 
I think the three words that best describe me are loyal, logical, and deliberate. I have a desire to travel extensively in Spain and obtain my pilot’s license. 
 
Growing up, I thought being an attorney would be a great job. In high school, that changed to a pilot.  Once I settled into my majors, philosophy and political science, I knew the law was where I wanted to be.
