Outside of work, Adam enjoys a well-crafted cold brew coffee and exploring the depths of streaming platforms for his next favorite film. He is an avid runner, who hopes to one day better his injury-riddled effort in the 2017 Kilimanjaro Marathon. But his greatest joy is spending time with his fiancée, Maria, and their dog, Willow.
