Adam spent most of his early years growing up in the city of Puyallup, WA until the beginning of his sophomore year in high school, which was when his family moved to La Center. While living in Puyallup he played as many sports as he could, which included baseball, football, even some basketball. In high school he concentrated more on the music side of things and played trumpet for the concert, jazz, and pep bands. While at La Center High School, he joined the golf team and competed at the state 1A tournament.

After high school, Adam attended Central Washington University where he majored in Accounting and Finance. After college, he and his wife moved to the greater Seattle area where he worked for a local public accounting firm. On his birthday in 2015 he found out that he had received a passing score for all four parts of the CPA exam and received his license soon after.

In his spare time Adam enjoys being outdoors with his wife, Melissa, and 2 daughters. He loves going hiking, camping, fishing, shooting, swimming, and throwing the football around. When the weather is being uncooperative, you can find him exercising in his garage gym, playing any kind of game, or cheering on the Seahawks and the Mariners.
