Beyond the Rope

Adam Nixon


Hometown: Detroit and New York City



Age: 27



Profession: Lead VIP host for Rehab and promotions manager for Body English at the Hard Rock.



Profile: You'd expect someone with Adam's job titles (and workload) to be snappish and stressed but moving to the West might have mellowed him into a good-natured, seemingly unflappable guy.



Why I Do What I Do: "It has to do with being social and the interaction with having a live event. It's rewarding seeing your hard work pay off with a successful event."



Personal Tidbit: Adam holds a BA in architecture and a BFA in metal smithing, and is an accomplished silver- and gold-smith and furniture designer. So accomplished, in fact, that he's designing a metal Body English bracelet that will be sold to the public.



Last Book Read: Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon.



Latest Accomplishment: "I'm too busy to think of my latest ... I'm balancing 5,000 tasks."



Quote: "Bad art is more tragically beautiful than good art, because it documents human failure."—Ryan Gosling in Stay.
