He takes a personal interest in working with clients throughout their lifetimes and helping them plan for their future, including assisting them with charitable giving and business succession planning.

Adam also provides informational seminars that help clients and prospective clients understand the need for updating or creating an estate plan. Adam grew up in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, which is known for being on Lake Michigan, having world class golf courses and bratwurst, not necessarily in that order. Adam moved to Minnesota in 1995 to attend college at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities. Adam and his wife met in college and they now have three boys, including twins, who keep them extremely busy with their school, activities and non-stop energy. Adams free time is spent with family, going to the lake in the summer, family vacations and trips with friends, and attending and watching pro and college sporting events, including his favorite teams the Chicago Cubs and Bears.
