WHY THEY'RE SHARING THEIR EXPERTISE AT SUMMIT

Since getting involved with AAM a few years ago, the organization has quickly become one of the most important elements of my career growth and success. I love learning with and from my AAM peers! I believe there is so much knowledge and practical experience to be gained when very smart, creative and progressive-thinking marketing, business development and growth leaders engage with one another. I’m passionate about all things client-related, particularly client development.

WHEN THEY'RE NOT WORKING YOU CAN FIND THEM...

Outside of work, Adam enjoys traveling, reading, podcasts, sports and being outdoors. But his favorite activity by far is simply being with his daughter Ella and dog Bear!
