About Me
Hi!
I’m Adam. In short- I’m a content creator, travel filmmaker, and spontaneous adventurer. I love trying new things to make epic memories. Currently, I make wholesome videos on the internet, which have cultivated an audience of over 2,500,000 followers across platforms. My biggest goal is to share stories that inspire people to: seek more empathy, live life to the fullest, and question what’s possible. Scroll to learn more! 👇
Here’s my story
Basically, I took a… kinda unique path in life.
I grew up in New Jersey, USA 🇺🇸 for my first 18 years. As a kid, I was both a rule-breaker and a creative nerd. I loved challenging what was possible. I tried EVERYTHING. A photography blog. Sneaker software business. I even learned how to backflip on a scooter. My dream was to legitimately become both an astronaut AND a YouTuber. So- I started multiple YouTube channels. But… the videos didn’t really get much momentum.
I didn’t think I was good enough.
As I got older, I honestly just lost confidence in my video-making and stopped. I still wanted to be an astronaut, so logically that’s when I began my career of aerospace engineering. I worked hard at it. I got a job at NASA in 2018, received the 20 Twenties (Top 20 STEM leaders in the world) award by Aviation Week in 2019, and my Aerospace Engineering Honors Bachelors degree from the University of Maryland in 2020. But still- that desire for creative expression was bottled up inside of me.
MANY spontaneous adventures

Worked as a stunt double on a European TV show
Along the way, I managed to juggle even more side projects…
Co-created a nonprofit virtual summer camp for kids to learn creativity from world-class experts.
Managed Yes Theory’s global 100k+ member travel community - sparking meetups worldwide
Employed as “Head of Adventure” for GoJoe- documenting impactful stories around the world
… And much much more.
Through all these experiences, I realized one thing.
I love seeking new experiences, pushing myself creatively, and helping others. And I realized - this could all be done through filmmaking. But as soon I graduated… I was scared. I had just worked years to finish my degree, had no money, and would forfeit the safe career waiting for me. Deep inside though, I knew if I gave up filmmaking- I would regret it forever.
So I went for it. I ditched all my plans, worked odd jobs, saved money, and FULLY went for it. I traveled to places I’ve only dreamed of. I hit rock bottom. I made the films I’m truly proud of. I crossed off half of my bucket list. I found lifelong best friends. And - I finally had the courage to put myself out there.
