Adam returns for his fourth year as a coach for T.C. boys crew after coaching the junior varsity boats the previous three years in addition to running ACR’s summer Youth Sculling Program.  The Junior 4+ he coached in 2010 rowed to a second place at the VASRA Championships while the Third 4+ he coached in 2010 and 2011 won their season-ending event at the Ted Phoenix Championship Regatta. 
 
Prior to coaching out of the Dee Campbell Rowing Center, he was assistant varsity coach of the Men’s Junior team for San Diego Rowing Club. During his year in “America’s Finest City” he assisted with the coaching of the team's sweep and sculling boats that culminated in two of the team's entries qualifying for US Rowing's Youth Nationals where the Lightweight 4+ earned silver. Prior to this, Adam coached the girls crew at Sidwell Friends (DC) for two years.  Varsity rowers that he coached while in these positions went on to row or cox at Brown, California, Cal Lights, Columbia, Michigan, MIT, Oregon State, Tulane, UCLA and UC-Santa Clara.
 
Adam began rowing competitively during high school in the DC area, initially with Gonzaga and later with West Potomac. Following graduation, Adam attended the Virginia Military Institute and was forced to take a break from rowing as the narrowness of the Maury River precluded VMI from fielding a team. Upon his return to the DC area in 2003, he joined Capital Rowing Club and has since raced in sweep and sculling events up and down the East Coast.
 
An avid sports fan, who is also the oldest of five boys, Adam works in Old Town where he provides venture debt to biotech and medical device companies. Outside of work he can be found rowing his single out of Alexandria's boathouse, trying to keep his golf shots out of the rough, fly fishing or heading to the closest resort to snowboard on recently fallen snow.
