Born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, weather has been a passion for Adam for as long as he can remember! Whether it was thunderstorms or winter storms, Adam has always been geeking out. After earning his meteorology degree from Penn State, he made his way to the Ohio Valley to forecast for WTOV.
From there, he went to WAND to cover the elements in Central Illinois. One of his most memorable days was rushing from a Christmas parade to the studio to help cover Illinois' largest December tornado outbreak when an EF-3 tore through Taylorville, IL.
Most recently, he was the host of AccuWeather Prime for the AccuWeather Network covering storms coast to coast and interviewing notable guests like Neil DeGrasse Tyson & NASA astronaut Jessica Watkins.
In his free time, you can usually find Adam on the tennis or volleyball courts, at a concert or out exploring local restaurants and breweries. You may even see him at your local airport since he recently earned his private pilot's certificate. Wherever you see him, be sure to say hi!
