I have learned to have a voice, but it’s taken time. Speak out and communicate with others about what you want.
About Adam
- In high school, I was an athlete and a musician, but I wasn’t really sure what I wanted to do for the rest of my life.
- I attended the University of Washington, where I switched majors a few times before earning my bachelor’s degree in Speech Communication.
- I got married shortly after graduating from college.
- My wife and I started working for a nonprofit that helped students with their spiritual, emotional, physical, and social development.
- The company had a music division and I became a band director, touring across the country for a few years and designing creative ways to communicate spiritual messages through music.
- As my wife and I started our family, touring around the country became difficult, so we left the road and I started working for a friend who worked in technology.
- I worked as an IT help desk administrator and even became a certified Microsoft consultant.
- I began working for Strada Education Network as a systems administrator—I am now a Strategic Technology Partner helping business leaders implement technology solutions.
