In graduate school, he created developmental race programs and built biking/hiking trails for Terraflow Trails Systems in Big Sky, Montana. Most recently, Adam was the Director of Parks and Trails for the Big Sky Community Organization where he oversaw the maintenance and expansion of the parks and trails system in Big Sky, Montana. Adam spends his free time with his wife, kids, and dog enjoying the trails on bikes and foot during the summer and during the winter, on telemark, cross country, and alpine skis.
