He received a B.S. summa cum laude in Biomedical Engineering with a minor in Chemistry from the University of Utah. As an undergraduate student, Adam worked in a cardiac lab researching a novel technique for visualization of electrical changes using molecules that changed their physical configuration based on changes in electrical fields, leading to a change in X-ray attenuation. That work led to Adam being issued a U.S. Patent titled “X-ray Attenuating Compositions and Methods” (Patent No. 8,808,668).

Adam is an avid volleyball player, both indoor and outdoor, and loves camping with his family.
