Adrian was inspired from an early age to think systemically about poverty and was moved to find solutions. This calling eventually led him to conclude that universal access to legal help was the most effective way of addressing poverty in America and brought him to law school. Immediately after graduating, he founded Open Door Legal, which has grown 200x in 10 years. In that time, ODL has secured over 50 million of dollars in direct assets for low-income communities of color and reduced homelessness by half in the neighborhoods it serves. Adrian is a summa cum laude graduate of the University of Maryland and magnum cum laude graduate of the University of San Francisco, School of Law. Adr
