BIO
Adam began playing guitar at the age of 12. He prepared and performed a medley of songs and solos and rocked his entire high school at a talent show which began a journey towards fulfilling several musical dreams. The dream to join or create a heavy metal band was only natural having been surrounded by local acts such as Testament, Metallica, Exodus, and many others that went on to "make it". After playing for a few different bands with some of the bigger names in the business at that time, he took a break to explore other avenues. Since the 7th grade, computers were a big part of his life. A few visits from the FBI prompted Adam to leave his "hacker" ways and find legitimate work in the industry. Adam began working with computers in 1982 and quickly expanded his knowledge surpassing even his teachers' abilities. He created and maintained numerous bulletin board systems (BBS's) through his high school years and beyond with some of the earliest commercial Apple computers. For the past 11 years Adam has developed significant experience in creating, owning and operating Internet businesses, including membership websites. Adam’s first website was created in mid-1996, just as the internet began to boom. He knew there was something big happening and decided to teach himself to build websites in a quest to make big money. To learn this new computer code, he reverse-designed a website he'd "sourced" from the web, basically borrowing html code and rewriting it. This led to many other websites that began to earn big money. By 1999 Adam was making 5 figures a week. Prior to his personal success, Adam was solely chosen from 35 other applicants to work at a Silicon Valley web hosting and development startup. Six months later, Adam was generating so much money with his website, he quit his "suit-and-tie-guy" job, began working from the comfort of his Northern California hillside home, and has been developing and operating successful websites ever since. In 2003 Adam sold his dream car and dream home and moved to Hollywood in Southern California to fulfill new and old dreams. Amidst struggles and hardships so close to the boulevard of broken dreams, he currently is producing videos and runs his own membership website business. Music not forgotten, Adam's desire to continue writing and recording music has him doing exactly that. So let it be written, so let it be done. The adventure continues.
