I grew up in Meadville, Pennsylvania. While there, I was a varsity swimmer (butterfly and sprint free) and diver, and qualified twice for the Pennsylvania State Diving Championships. I was also a varsity quarterback in football for 3 years. After graduating Meadville in 2000, I was recruited to dive for Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, an NCAA Division 1 program. I competed for three seasons with Lehigh, and qualified once for the Patriot League Diving  Championships on 3-meter springboard. After graduating Lehigh in 2004 with degrees in Chemical Engineering and Biochemistry, I went to work with Merck & Co., Inc. in the Philadelphia area. After working there for almost 2 years, I left Merck to pursue graduate studies at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy. Currently, I remain at RPI, working towards my Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering. I'm also an avid skier, and participant in U.S.A. rugby as a senior level player and coach.

 

 Adam's style is ruff and tough,
makes all swimmers huff and puff!

I grew up in Waterbury, VT. I swam for the local summer team, the Waterbury Rapids, from age 8 – 18, and was an assistant coach my senior year of high school. I was also active in soccer, basketball, softball, track and hockey throughout grade school and high school. I attended Rice Memorial High School in South Burlington, VT. From there I went to college at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, NY where I was and a 3 year member of the Swim Team, specializing in breast stroke, as well as a 4 year member of the Crew Team. I somehow found the time to get a B.S. in Management too! In addition to coaching, I’m working full time at Seaglass Logowear in Clifton Park, and part time at L.L. Bean. I enjoy the outdoors, camping, and skiing, swimming and watching sports.
