Adam discovered his love for the mountains during a summer 2018 internship in Seattle, where the Cascades sparked something that would reshape his life. The following summer, a chance encounter in Washington led to a partnership with Justin, and together they dove headlong into adventurous climbing and mountaineering. What began as weekend cragging quickly evolved into a deep passion for alpine rock, mountaineering, sport climbing, and backcountry skiing—pursuits that challenge him in different ways but share the same essence: personal growth through movement, partnership, and the raw beauty of wild places. As Adam balanced multiple climbing disciplines, he realized that sustainable progress required smart, structured training. What began as friends asking about his personal training soon became a coaching practice built on customized programs that respect each climber's unique goals and lifestyle. Adam's approach is personal and results-driven—he believes that effective coaching isn't just about prescribing workouts, but about understanding what drives each athlete and helping them unlock their potential. Whether you're training for your first alpine route or chasing bigger objectives in the mountains, Adam brings the same enthusiasm and attention to your goals that fueled his own journey from beginning in the flatlands of Illinois to experiencing the snowy peaks of the Pacific Northwest, the backcountry walls of the Sierra Nevada, the steep caves of the Red River Gorge, and beyond.
