Adam grew up as the oldest of five children in Provo, Utah. Throughout childhood, he enjoyed skiing and playing basketball and baseball in organized sports leagues and against his younger brother (nothing beats a little family competition). After graduating from high school, Adam took a two-year break from college to serve a volunteer mission for his church in southern Japan. He then returned home to continue his education at Brigham Young University, where he majored in microbiology with a minor in family life. While at BYU, he met his wife, Shea, whom he married in June of 2018. Adam then attended medical school at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center in Lubbock where he solidified his interest in pediatrics and had his first two children, Hadley and Jackson.

In his free time, Adam enjoys being active and spending time with his family. He particularly enjoys playing at the park with his kids, playing or watching sports, hiking, and snow skiing.
