Adam Powell

Adam J. Powell (born December 20, 1976 in Wales) is the co-founder of Neopets. Jointly launched the website with Donna Williams on November 15, 1999, starting from an idea they had in 1997 while sitting in a dingy little computer room, possibly while eating kebabs or pizza.

Prior to founding Neopets, he was also involved in Shout! Advertising, a UK-based advertising company which operated the third largest click-through program on the Internet by mid-1999. He also founded Netmagic in July 1999, which focused on web page design, and Powlex in March 1997, which designed and sold online banner advertising. Mr. Powell currently focuses on the technical and programming aspects of the Neopets website, and is still the head of the developers for the game.

Powell is mentioned in the hall of fame at his secondary school, Collingwood College, although he had a self-described "spectacular failure at university." He is also a former member of MENSA with an IQ of 174.

Powell has two cats in California called Sarah and Chani. In the United Kingdom he has four cats called Oscar, Daisy, Bill and Ben.
