In his spare time, Adam enjoys building models, particularly Gundam plastic model kits, or Gunpla. A martial artist since he was twelve years old, Adam currently holds the ranks of 3rd Gup Brown Belt in Tang Soo Do and yellow belt in Haedong Kumdo.
As an ordained Dudeist priest with the Church of the Latter-Day Dude, Adam is available to perform wedding ceremonies.
