Background

Adam Broussard is a practicing pediatric anesthesiologist and assistant professor at both Tulane University School of Medicine and LSU Health Sciences Center — board-certified and credentialed as a Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Society of Anesthesiologists. In 2024, he stepped outside medicine and acquired That 1 Painter, a local residential & commercial painter serving the New Orleans, LA area. Running it means holding his crews to a defined service standard: on-time arrivals, 24-hour quotes, consecutive-day scheduling, and thorough job inspections backed by a three-year warranty — all while recruiting and managing the project managers and field teams that make those promises keepable.

Why American Operator

Adam joined the American Operator Advisor Network because he is living the experience these operators face: the hiring pressure, the J-curve, and the daily grind of running a trades business with a small team. As a physician-turned-operator, Adam brings a rare combination of disciplined systems thinking and hands-on ownership credibility that he wants to pass forward to the next generation of American owners.
