As an Event Manager, Adam assists Host Community volunteers in the planning, operation and staging of the BC Winter Games.
Adam joined the BC Games Society in early 2020 and brings with him a broad base of education and expertise from across the sports industry nationally, and internationally. He completed his degree in Human Kinetics and Sport Management at the University of Windsor, followed by a Postgraduate Certificate in Sport Journalism. Early in his career, Adam pursued multiple opportunities to gain experience working in professional sport. He travelled with the CFL’s 100th Grey Cup cross country train tour, worked transportation operations for the NBA All Star Game, managed access control for Rogers Place and the Edmonton Oilers, and provided consultation on the accreditation operations for the NFL’s Superbowl 50. Adam has also spent significant time working with international organizations like the ITU’s World Triathlon Series and FIFA’s 2014 U20 and 2015 Women’s World Cups.

An outdoor enthusiast with a history of volunteering with at-risk youth, if Adam is not exploring the backcountry or watching sports, he is likely attempting to play one.
