Adam's writing focuses on feature length articles, short blog posts, product copy, and writing geared towards social media. His focus is to not only drive potential customers, but to engage them with high quality content. This is done with a combination of research, dedication, and tightly created copy made while keeping the customer and client in mind, as well as hefty amounts of blood, sweat, and caffeine.
Adam is mainly interested in writing, and (geeky as he is) spends much of his time learning about it. When he's not either learning about or actually writing, he also likes to play with the latest electronic gadgets, bike in the sun (when it's available), play video games with friends, bake bread and pastries, and try to keep up with his favorite bands.
Adam enrolled at the University of Montana in the fall of 2002, seeking a major in Print Journalism, and a minor in Japanese. After studying for 3 years, it became obvious that print journalism as it currently existed was a rapidly disappearing field. Adam left in 2005 to pursue his interest in writing for multimedia and the web.

His knowledge ranges from the mainstream (tablet computers, laptops, gaming systems, audio systems) to the esoteric (integrated home control systems, personal grooming devices). Adam is able to blend an understanding of technical details with a knack for explaining them to the uninitiated.

Adam produced copy for banner ads for a medium-sized electronics company, focused on driving sales through affiliate sites. While most of the banner ads were created to be general, many were for specific product lines or categories.
