(which was purchased by BNY in 1998) and Bear Stearns.

Adam moved back from New York City in 2003 and now lives in North Ridgeville, Ohio with his wife Shannon, and two children Jackson and Lexie. He graduated with distinction from the University of Michigan with a BBA Degree in Finance.  Philanthropically, Adam is involved with Rotary International, St. Peter School in North Ridgeville, Junior Achievement and Leadership Lorain County.
