His lifelong passion for volleyball began in the 6th grade and continued to his death. Adam�s BAK team went 10-0 in his 8th grade year. He also played travel volleyball with OBV in Boca Raton, Florida as well as beach volleyball on Daytona Beach, St. Augustine Beach and Ft. Lauderdale, mentoring many players.

Adam�s love of animals was constant throughout his life beginning with a teacup Pomeranian �Tallie� and growing into Labradors �Jake� and �Jazz� as he got older. They loved the beach as much as Adam, constantly chasing tennis balls and waves together.
