He earned his 5th degree black belt from the United World Taekwondo Association and owned the Snohomish Taekwondo School. Adam also pursued a career in small electronic and laser assembly.

He was an avid admirer of history, especially anything pertaining to the military and his favorite president, Theodore Roosevelt. Adam was also a huge fan of old Westerns, much like his dad. Adam treasured his time with family and friends, whether it be getting together for music, board games, football, or barbecues. He especially enjoyed holidays with family. Most recently, Adam loved the road trip adventures that he and Renee took together, the ocean was his favorite.

One of Thomas' fondest memories of his dad was spending time together playing with and constructing things out of Thomas's millions of Legos.
