Not one to settle down, Adam's next pursuit was a Master of Fine Arts degree at the University of Missouri, Kansas City. This provided a wonderful opportunity for him to teach abroad at Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts in London, England. Adam spent 2 years of his graduate studies working and training at Mountview, completing his MFA degree in 1998.

After graduate school Adam took a job with Electronic Theatre Controls, Inc. in Middleton, WI.  This was another splendid opportunity which allowed him to meet many professionals in the industry. However, after a couple years Adam was ready to move toward the challenges of industrial production design and coordination in the city of Chicago where he joined Images in Illuminations and Plexus Productions working with Joe West . Adam worked with "Images" over the next four years, learning more than could be imagined from Joe, who inspired him to go it alone in summer of 2001.

With Image's and Plexus' continued support, and a lot of sleepless nights, Adam has used his tenacious desire to imagine, design, and create alongside some very cool professionals, one of exceptional mention, Scott Falbe of Intelligent Lighting Creations. Adam has served as a consultant with "ILC" since 2001 mainly in IT development.  And when not jockeying around virtually on ILC's server infrastructure, gets to play around with many of Scott's lighting toys. "ILC is definitely at the forefront in the Chicago area when it comes to newer lighting technologies." 

Adam plans to continue living and working in Chicago since it really has so much to offer. Fortunate to have the support of his partner in life Karen, friends, and family Adam continues to let his imagination guide him. "There are so many people I owe my eternal gratitude to. And naturally, if you have read all this, that would also include you."
