Adam is communications lead for the Charity Elections initiative, a program to foster empathy, compassion and a culture of effective giving in secondary schools around the world. He also works as a marketing and outreach copywriter/editor.

​

Previously, he taught International Baccalaureate English Language and Literature (DP/MYP) and IGCSE English.

 

His spare time is spent as a political news junkie, raising his two sons, volunteering, and composing, recording, and rarely (these days) performing his original songs. And writing ​about himself in the third person.
