Adam was born and raised in Nepean, Ontario, Canada, where he began his career in the entertainment industry at a young age. He was slimed on the cult hit "You Can't Do That on Television" (1979) and at just 16 years old, he co-wrote 30 episodes of the show with producer/creator Roger Damon Price.
Adam attended Sir Robert Borden High School, where he was a member of the National Champion High School Improv Team, alongside fellow S.R.B. alum. He also became the school's president in his senior year.
He then pursued his passion for film at Ryerson University's film program, where he won the Norman Jewison Filmmaker's Award for his graduating short film "Token for Your Thoughts." The film also won a Gold Plaque Award at the Chicago Intercom Festival.
During his time at Ryerson, Adam toured and performed with the popular Toronto-based sketch troupe the Komic Kazes. This experience helped him land his first film role in the feature film "Kids in the Hall: Brain Candy" (1996).
Throughout his career, Adam has gathered vast and varied storytelling experience, writing and directing broadcast television, creating short and feature-length documentaries, and spearheading an award-winning film mentorship program at a shelter for homeless youth.
As a commercial director, Adam has worked with a range of happy clients, including IBM, Kraft, Air Canada, Credit Karma, Hershey's, Chevy, Nature Valley, and ICBC. He is represented by Chicago and in Canada.
Adam's indie comedy series "Hospital Show," which he wrote, directed, produced, edited, and co-stars in, has received international acclaim, winning numerous awards, including Best Short Form Comedy at Stareable Fest, Best Web Series at Australia's AFIN, Best Web Series at the Florence Film Awards, a Canadian Cinematography Award for Best Comedy, and the Leo Award for Best Web Series.
