What would make a person pull up stakes and move 1,360 miles away?  OBX!  Remembering happy times visiting OBX during his childhood, Adam and his family planned a family vacation.  His wife, Kelli, fell in love with the sand…the gentle breezes…the salt water.  If there was ever a chance to move closer to the ocean, she was all in. 

 

That opportunity arose with the YMCA of South Hampton Roads where he is now a District Vice President responsible for the operations at the Blocker YMCA, the recently opened YMCA on Granby, Effingham YMCA, Dominion Tower YMCA, Camp Red Feather, Indian River YMCA and the YMCA’s Aquatic Programs.   

 

Adam grew up in Columbus, Ohio and has an education degree with emphasis on exercise science from Bowling Green State University.  He began his YMCA career in 1998 and came to Norfolk from the YMCA in Wichita, Kansas.  Adam joined Rotary in 2002 while living in Wichita and joined our club in April 2014.  He is the chair of the Golf committee. 

 

His hobbies are bow hunting, fishing, poker and family adventures with his wife and son.  He also rides a six foot high unicycle!
