     Growing up in Bend, Oregon, Adam focused his early athletic years on skiing and soccer but by the ripe old age of nine he had made the transition to snowboarding.  Sixteen years later his board has carried him all over the world until, in 2003, Adam claimed his first US National Championship title.  Early last season he became a regular top-ten finisher and soon thereafter claimed his first World Cup gold medal in Landgraaf, Holland. By year’s end, he was battling for a spot on the World Championship’s podium, finishing just off the stand in fourth place but not before making his mark as one to watch at next year’s Olympic Games.

     " Last season (2004-05) is when everything really started to click for me.  I was regularly within striking distance of the podium, grabbed my first gold medal and then ended the year with a solid showing at the World Championships. That success has been a great source of motivation to keep pushing myself ever harder, and it's also brought with it a sense of calm and confidence, knowing that I've proven I can win."      

      Remarkably, despite a lifelong love of athletics and a full time career in cold weather places, Adam battles severe asthma and has done so since childhood.  He views an Olympic medal as part of the cure.

"Dealing with asthma has been part of my routine for so long that it's not something I spend much time thinking about, I just deal with it get on with my training and life.  No doubt, there are plenty of times it flares up and lets me know it's still there, but life goes on, so, so do I."
