The Owners

In 2012, Paul Adams and Andy Johnson created a positive partnership to help grow the business of selling Paul’s patented invention: A portable, lightweight, all-weather, easy to assemble sports shelter—the perfect complement to any athletic or outdoor event. There was nothing else like it on the market! Completely unique and customizable, Paul had designed the soccer shelter around the typical team six-seater bench. Andy knew it was a phenomenal product and he wanted to help Paul, a Seattle firefighter with a self-taught business background, take the company to the next level. The rest is history!

Paul Adams

Partner in Premier Sports Products and Inventor of the Sports Shelter

 

Paul was born and raised in Vancouver, British Columbia. He moved to Seattle, Washington to pursue a career as a firefighter and has lived and worked in the area for the past 23 years. Paul started inventing the sports shelter in 2006, when the initial idea for the project was born while coaching soccer and watching his kids’ games. He was frustrated to discover that nothing like it was on the market, and immediately felt the need for a better shelter. Today, he lives in a small community south of Seattle with his wife, of 23 years, and his three teenage daughters. Click here to read the full story of how Paul came to invent the sports shelter!
