BIO
In 1989, his art teacher convinced Adam to try to do caricatures for the High School Art Fair. He enjoyed it so he started doing them at local fairs and festivals in the summers.
In 1993 he began doing caricatures in bars for tips and enrolled in the student freelance art program at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh where he received an Associates Degree in Visual Communications in 1994. He majored in Illustration and Computer Graphics.
He continued to do caricatures in the evenings while doing graphic design work and physical labor in the day. In 1997, he got so busy with caricatures that he decided to try it full time and started a caricature business which was luckily a hit! His friend Ron eventually partnered with him in the business.
In 1999, the two of them toured the Eastern United States for a month. Stopping and doing caricatures in the hottest night clubs of the 16 or so cities they visited in NC, SC, GA, FL, TN, LA and OH. Ohio was the last stop on this trip and in 2003 Adam moved there.
In 2005, shortly after getting married, Adam spent the summer in at the beach doing caricatures in the bars and on the boardwalk.

Adam hopes to one day have a yard full of kids. He is handy and likes to build stuff and do creative things like paint and take pictures. He loves being outdoors and is drawn to anyplace with trees, rocks and rivers. Adam also enjoys writing and has written a manuscript on the subject of caricature busking in bars and is currently working on a novel based on the 6000 mile tour in 1999. He hopes to publish them together in 2008. He would also like to make a Guinness World Record attempt/fundraiser involving speed caricatures soon.
