He became a Corrections Officer, working at the Franklin Correctional Facility in Malone. Adam was very committed to his community. He joined the St. Regis Falls Fire Department and with his dedication earned the title of First Assistant Chief (Car 150-01). He made many lifelong friends on his watch. He is presently the President of the St. Regis Falls Sportsmen's Club, who at a young age, was admired for his good and kind nature. His ambition led him to the position of Union Stewart for his union, NYSCOPBA. He was on a mission to improve the working conditions and safety of its members. He enjoyed the outdoors, hunting and riding his Harley. Adam enjoyed music, whether singing, dancing, watching music video but especially listening to Johnny Cash. He would be seen accompanied by his canine companion, Gunner, around town and hiking, and at home, his feline named Lucy would be there for him when they returned.
