About Adam

I hold a Master's in Physics from Drexel University where I conducted research on the structure and function of Sickle Cell (Anemia) Hemoglobin. Prior to that I completed a dual major in Physics and Biology at the State University of New York at New Paltz. After all of that, I completed a Master of Advanced Studies at the University of Basel, Switzerland, in Peace Studies and Conflict Transformation. My thesis for that degree was about how the performance arts are used in Palestine, with youth, to build personal and cultural identity. Prior to all of that I achieved an associates in Classical Guitar from Manhattan School of Music, which I am currently picking up on with a formal education in Flamenco guitar/music.



At the core, I am a strategist for students of life and learning. True, I’m a physicist, biologist, musician, poet, and conflict mediator yet I draw my principles from wilderness survival, the martial arts and the theory of education centered on the idea that language is at the heart of learning. My intention as an educator is to convince the student that these principles are universally applicable and with some disciplined, organized practice, anything can be accomplished – especially in terms of standardized test preparation and academic studies. While I’m not teaching you, or someone else, you may see me running or biking in the mountains, hear me practicing flamenco guitar, or catch wind of the aromas pouring out of my vegan kitchen. One day, I hope, you’ll be reading my published poems and short stories.
