Relentless in the pursuit of excellence....passionate for learning... blessed with numerous talents.... multifaceted and multilingual.... only begin to characterize Adam, a San Francisco Bay Area native, who has spent most of his life in the performing arts.His very early theatrical training at age 12 included study with Lucille Gordon, private coach from New York. In High School, he got a part in every school play he auditioned for. As a theater major in College, Adam was immersed in college and community productions including summer stock at the University-run Fallon House Theater in the Mother Lode Country of California. It was also during his college years that Adam got his first exposure to film acting as background and as a stand-in for Bruce Davison in "The Strawberry Statement" and as background in "R.P.M." with Anthony Quinn and Ann-Margret. The bug had bitten him, but in the meantime, Adam continued to pursue his penchant for excellence as a professional conference interpreter, earning him plaudits from legendary interpreters at the U.N., Ted Fagan and Nicholas Glebov, and from the organizers of two NATO conferences.Adam also enjoys his position as an oboe and English horn player in several fine community orchestras, and in 2006 founded the Bay Area's newest professional opera company, Trinity Lyric Opera, and ran the Company as it presented three critically-acclaimed opera presentations over the next several years. While living in France for several years, he appeared in and directed plays in French, and danced as a principal dancer in Swan Lake Act II, and was featured as the Burgermeister in a gala national dance academy competition, presenting the full-length ballet "Coppelia." Deeply spiritual, faith is a foundational element in Adam's life, enabling him to find comfort and purpose in the Almighty's Providence even during uncomfortable and challenging times.As a student of film acting at Film Acting Bay Area in Emeryville, California, Adam studied all aspects of film-making and has had the opportunity of working closely with Hester Schell, FABA Faculty Member and founder of Bay Area Casting News. He has already had noteworthy opportunities for work as background in major films and roles in industrials and indie shorts. He is a quick learner, always eager to improve and a delight to work with.
