A Fort Wayne, Indiana native, Adam discovered pickleball in 2013 and has since built a reputation both as a fierce competitor and a dedicated educator. He holds IFP Level 2 Certified Instructor credentials, is an IFP Certified Ratings Specialist, serves as an IFP Instructor Certifier, and is Certified DUPR Coach—expertise that informs every curriculum he develops and every coach he mentors.

In 2020, Adam leveraged his passion for the sport to launch his own pickleball company. Over four years he created comprehensive training curricula and scaled the business to a team of 15 instructors across five states—before successfully selling the venture in 2024. Adam has medaled at the 5.0 level in national tournaments and brings that same drive for excellence to everything he undertakes.

Off the court, Adam is a devoted family man: father to four adult children Caleb, Aidan, Cooper & Tyler (ages 23, 21, 18, and 18) and, with his wife Lauren, proud parent of their five-month-old youngest daughter, Ava. His family’s support fuels his commitment to building a welcoming, family-friendly pickleball culture in Erie—where players of all backgrounds can learn, compete, and connect under the guidance of an instructor who truly understands the game from grassroots through national competition.
