Adam has always had a strong interest in the medical field, being fascinated with the anatomy and physiology of the human body. His studies included an extensive background in health, wellness, and fitness. His studies culminated in 2007, graduating from the reknowned physical therapy program at the University of Miami (FL) with his Doctorate in Physical Therapy.

Adam was married to his wife Paola just 5 days before graduation. A few weeks later they drove across the country to relocate in Phoenix. He began working at an outpatient orthopedic clinic, being exposed to a very diverse patient population. Having a strong desire for professional development, Adam sought an environment more conducive to learning, and joined the Spooner team in April 2009. Immediately Adam took advantage of opportunities to enhance his knowledge and understanding of functional movement and manual therapy techniques. Eventually he would like to obtain a manual therapy certification, and a specialization in orthopedics.

Adam is a very active and energetic individual, consistently working out at the gym, and playing basketball on a weekly basis. He is self-driven, motivated, and competitive, enjoying participation in numerous sporting and outdoor recreational activities.
