    Adam Dixon

    Advisory Council Member

    Read bio

    Adam calls Sioux Falls, South Dakota home, where he manages software engineering teams at CNH. A JourneyPartners advisor and former board member, Adam's connection to the organization runs deep — he first traveled to Zimbabwe in 1995 as an elementary schooler, accompanying his mother Bonnie Dixon, who founded JourneyPartners. He has since returned seven times, including leading several trips himself.

    What keeps drawing him back is something he describes as a 'community-first' way of living: the people he has met in Zimbabwe lead with warmth, hold onto hope, and look after one another in ways that leave a mark on every traveler who shows up. Adam brings that same spirit of attentiveness to his advisory work, striving to shape programs that honor the communities JourneyPartners serves.

    Outside of work and volunteering, he is an adventurer, seeking opportunities to rock climb, cycle, and compete in various types of athletic events.
