Adam began his endurance sports career road cycling in California in the 90s. Shortly after moving back home to Orillia in 2000 he was introduced to ultra marathons. Over the years he raced all across Canada and the US and represented Canada on the world stage multiple times. He excelled at the 50 mile distance and completed multiple 100 mile races. In 2014 Adam found out about endurance cycling events and was once again drawn back to the bike. Since then he has dominated the 8 hour solo events in Ontario and has won the marathon series championship, the Summer Solstice 24 hour solo race two years in a row and finished second in the solo field at 24 Hours in the Old pueblo in 2018. He also travels across the US competing in numerous NUE 100 mile mountain bike races each summer. Away from training and racing he spends his time working as a full-time Respiratory Therapist in Orillia Soldiers' Memorial Hospital.
