Adam grew up in Charlotte, North Carolina. His passion for helping people with disabilities started in middle school when he befriended a classmate with Down Syndrome. This friendship continued throughout high school and inspired Adam to volunteer with the Special Olympics and assist in the special education classroom at his school.

Adam moved to Los Angeles in 2008 to pursue a career in writing for TV and Film. He's had success in that career, selling movies to 20th Century Fox and Warner Bros. Discovery and writing on the 13th and 14th seasons of the television show "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia".

Drawing on his life-long desire to make a positive impact on the lives of people with disabilities, Adam works part time as a Direct Support Professional in addition to his full-time duties as a parent and writer.
