Adam went to college at the University of Maryland, College Park and graduated valedictorian from his high school, Fork Union Military Academy in Fluvanna County, Virginia.
Adam grew up in Stafford County, Virginia, and then spent some time in Houston, Texas because of his father's job as a commercial airline pilot.

He has also worked at TV stations in Orlando, Chattanooga and Knoxville, Tennessee and in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Adam lives in Montgomery County, Maryland with his wife, Melissa, and their three children. He's an avid athlete, competing in triathlons and marathons.
