Chief of Centralization for Client Services & Social Impact Photo Storytelling

Adam graduated from the University of Michigan in 2010 with a degree in Biological Anthropology where he studied primate evolution, anatomy, and behavior. His studies led to opportunities performing behavioral research on wild populations of neotropical monkeys in Costa Rica; ultimately gaining a better comprehension of human behavior. As he progressed into a graduate program at Miami University, his chosen field of study took him on research projects all over Central and South America, igniting a passion for cultural studies, human connectivity, and global interconnectedness.

These unique research experiences led Adam to Metro Detroit, working in education at the Detroit Zoological Society for eight years, helping to lead programs that included a wildly popular camp program for thousands of camp kids as well as an education-wildlife conservation program partnership in the Peruvian Amazon with citizens of the region working to protect the natural world around them.

Through his professional and graduate work abroad in zoology, he realized another passion for photo documentation, that would see him pursuing opportunities in photojournalism and investigative news research back in the U.S. documenting social movements, politics, the NFL, USFL, NCAA Basketball, boxing, and more, garnering publications in CNN, The Wall Street Journal, The LA Times, Vice, USA Today, and more, ultimately leading to his role as the Chief of Centralization for Christine Gavin and Company and as the Social Impact Photo Storyteller.
