At the age of thirteen, Adam began studying classical piano with Robert Evans. Evans taught Adam an appreciation of classical music that has deeply influenced his style of composition. Two years later, Adam began further study with Ilia Radoslovav which continued until his graduation from Trico High School in 2002.
Adam attended Southern Illinois University at Carbondale though financial and personal circumstances prevented him from completing his degree program. He has studied piano with Dr. Wilfred Delphin and later with Sandra Wright-Shen. He has scored five student films and is currently working on orchestrating a large number of his piano compositions. Adam currently lives in Springfield, MO.
