Adam grew up at Tabernacle Baptist Church in Candor, NC and worked at LWCC as a teen and college student in maintenance and as a counselor.  God gave Adam a specific burden for the youth of the Hawaiian Islands while working a youth retreat there.  He ministered in Hawaii for several years and then the Lord called him back to his home state of North Carolina where he and his wife Kathleen serve at Southside Baptist Church in Biscoe.
