All About Adam

Adam might best be described using a passage from one of his favorite books, Carl Sagan’s The Dragons of Eden:

…One of a small group of men and women in any age who find all of human knowledge—the arts and sciences, philosophy and psychology—interesting and accessible. He was not confined to a single discipline, but ranged over the entire panorama of human learning.

Born and raised in Michigan, Adam has always been curious and creative. He is the kind of person who doesn’t just want to know who & what, but also how & why.

In 2008, Adam graduated from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, where he received his degree in Film and Video Studies. Adam’s studies also included a heavy dose of art history, a topic that he finds fascinating and relevant to filmmaking.

At 24, Adam still has no idea where he’ll be in five years… but hey, who does?
