Celebrating CAPTAIN Adrian Millican: A Leader On and Off the Job
We couldn’t be prouder to congratulate our very own Adrian Millican on his well-deserved promotion to Captain at the Vestavia Hills Fire Department! 🚒🎉
As the leader of Station 3 and Engine 3 on B-Shift, Adrian brings the same powerful leadership to his fire crew that we’re lucky enough to experience here at CrossFit Trussville. For nearly 10 years, Adrian has been an incredible coach, and anyone who’s trained with him knows just how humble and grounded he is. But more than that, he’s a pillar of wisdom and support to everyone around him, both in the gym and beyond.
Throughout 2023, Adrian was a personal rock for me, providing advice and direction that got me through some heavy decisions that impacted many people. He has this rare ability to offer pragmatic, grounded, and from-the-heart guidance, making sure I could see things clearly even in the most overwhelming moments. One particularly hard day, I went to Adrian’s house, and for over three hours, he listened, gave advice, and helped me find peace and clarity when I was feeling beat down. His input helped me make positive, informed decisions, and I’ll always be grateful for his support.
In a world where true leadership can be hard to come by, Adrian stands out. He’s not the type to bark orders from above—he’s the guy who stands shoulder to shoulder with you, inspiring confidence and strength from within. His care for others and his dedication to doing what’s right make him the perfect fit for this new role as Captain. Vestavia Hills is lucky to have him, just like we are.
I’m also excited to partner with CAPTAIN Millican at the Heroic Hearts fundraiser at SoHo Social in Homewood for pediatric cancer this September. It's just another example of the kind of impact he’s making in all areas of his life. Congrats, Adrian! We’re all rooting for you and looking forward to seeing the amazing things you’ll continue to do.
