Who’s Adam?

Adam is a pretty fun guy that’s musically gifted, able to quote movie lines like it’s nothing, and has been able to wink since four years old. He grew up on small town etiquette, every sport he could join, a burning need to read, school choir, and many instruments and musical endeavors. Poems of his have been published, he always welcomes a deep conversation, and his taste in music is a source of pride (he loves our classic music videos here at The Assembly!). After college in Iowa, he and his then college sweetheart (now fiancé Jayne!) made plans including a move from Chicago to Los Angeles, pursuit of a music therapy career, marriage and children – the whole shabang. But in July of 2016 at the beginning of that dream, Adam survived a diving accident in Wisconsin that left him permanently paralyzed from the elbows down and unable to do simple activities of daily living without help from others. Five years later, after many up and down months, mostly lived in Milwaukee, the two are finally back in Chicago, where they’ve always felt at home. Nowadays Adam and Jayne strive toward their dreams as she’s started work in the medical field in Oak Lawn and he works to one day begin a career in voiceover and learn to play accessible instruments. Both are still planning on a family and live in their beloved city – hoping to forever be there. Now Adam needs nearly round-the-clock help and all money raised here on his behalf goes directly to his ongoing monthly caregivers and medical needs.
