Adam was born in Ohio and came to know Christ later in his life. After graduating from Ashland University with a major in mathematics and a minor in physics, Adam began to pursue a Ph. D. in mathematics at Miami University. It was here that God "got ahold of" Adam. After accepting Christ as his personal Savior, Adam felt called to become a high school teacher, so he finished one semester at Miami of Ohio and returned to Ashland University to become licensed to teach high school math. Adam taught four years at Northridge High School in Johnstown and one year at Mount Vernon High School. Adam has coached football, basketball, and track, and led the Fellowship of Christian Athletes huddle. Adam is the student pastor for students in grades 6-12 and the college pastor. He is passionate about youth and finding ways to serve people in tangible ways. When Adam isn’t hanging out with his beautiful wife Molly, he loves watching football or basketball or making some noise with his guitar.
