Adam, who lives in Concord with his wife Amy and their two children, Matt and Kate, first came to CA in the mid-1990s as an assistant soccer coach. He took on the head coaching position in 1999, and today also coaches the JV-2 boys basketball team and assists with baseball.

Concord Academy is a special place to our family, and it will be good to see our contribution make a difference on a daily basis. We’re also happy that CA worked closely with the town when the school bought the Arena Farms land, and that the school will continue to be a good neighbor in the town.” To Adam, athletics is a worthy cause that helps create balance in CA students’ lives. “I try to make practice something that kids look forward to, something they want to do at the end of a class day,” he said. “To me, giving to the fields is giving to the team, and that’s important to me.”
