Adam is a college student at the University of Washington studying to be a Psychologist. He lives on the waterfront in Seattle with his fiance Sammy and their three corgi's.

Adam is a very independent person in life, he doesn't like asking for help. He likes the challenge in solving how to fix something and finding the best solution to fix it. Adam was working in the garage and accidentally hit his mirror on his old 1949 Five Window Ford.

Adam is looking for an application for his Android that allows him to search the nearby part shops to see whether or not they have the part he needs without having to travel there and finding out they don't. He hates going to a shop and finding out they don't have the part, he feels that he just wasted time. He wants a simple application that also tells the prices of other part shops so he can find the cheapest place.
