Adam Wilson

After completing his Bachelor's at Stanford, the eldest of the Wilson-Trevor family moved to the East Coast as much for the purpose of an Ivy League MBA as for the sake of escaping his sister Lucy's Los Angeles cocktail waitress shenanigans. He works in finance and was moderately ruffled by his once very nice apartment building being acquired by his high school chemistry teacher of all people. He does not appreciate the sudden Tyrhampton to New York pipeline generated by this development and would have happily gone about the rest of his life pretending California does not exist and other people do not matter. He works long hours and prefers to leave the city on weekends, but if that's not possible he enjoys people watching in crowded places where he can generally avoid notice.
