Adam grew up in Los Angeles before attending the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where he studied History and Creative Writing. He was a member of the Zeta Beta Tau fraternity and a constant presence at both Chabad and Hillel, and a week after graduation, he moved to Chicago. In the years since he first attended a Jewish United Fund event, he rose up the ranks of their Young Leadership Division, first serving as the Chair of the YLD Pride Committee for three years, and growing it from hosting four events a year, to at least two events a month. He was then elected the President of the YLD Board, serving his term from June 2024 to June 2025 while working in film and television production, and co-producing documentaries about Jewish historical and present-day heroes. He participated in an LGBTQ North American Leaders Delegation to Israel that was meant to attend this year’s Tel Aviv Pride, but ended up with them being stuck in Tel Aviv for the first six days of its war with Iran. When he finally returned from the most meaningful trip of his life, he felt more energized than ever to build a robust community in Chicago where all queer Jews can safely and joyously express their full selves.
