Adam was born January 15, 1981, in Albuquerque, NM. He graduated from St. Pius X High School in 1999 and became a Registered Nurse. He worked in a variety of units expanding his skills, before settling in the Intensive Care Unit.

He was a loyal Denver Broncos fan, avid video gamer, and enjoyed exploring the great outdoors. His friends and loved ones remember him as charming, witty, energetic, and generous.

In 2011, Adam moved with his wife to Bloomington, IN where they welcomed their three children Adelyn, Cruz, and Harmony. The family later moved to Portland, OR, until his family returned and settled, once again, in Albuquerque.
