Adam grew up in a working-class household in East Aurora. The son of a postal worker and a public school employee, his family experienced the same budget strain we all know today. He also saw how union jobs can protect and provide for workers and their families alike.

After graduating from East Aurora High School, Adam earned his bachelor’s degree at Rochester Institute of Technology, and his law degree at SUNY Buffalo. For almost the entirety of his career, he has provided free legal services and advice to Western New Yorkers facing housing problems, including representing tenants facing legal disputes with their landlords; he also currently serves families across the region as assigned counsel in Family Court. His professional practice and beliefs have been shaped by his membership in the Buffalo Democratic Socialists of America, where he has been active and engaged since 2017.

Throughout his career, Adam has been a proven champion of everyday Western New Yorkers. Now, as he runs for New York State Assembly as a proud, democratic socialist, he remains dedicated to fighting for us against the issues we face daily, including: the lack of safe and affordable housing; skyrocketing health care, childcare, and household costs; and the weakening of labor union power. He is running for Assembly to stand up against corporate greed, and to ensure that every New Yorker can lead a stable and dignified life.
