Early life
Adam was born a freedom-loving patriot. His interest in government and politics began at a young age, attending political rallies with his parents and grandparents. Legend has it that in preschool, he passionately supported the Republican candidate over snack time on Election Day. Besides being politically active, he and his family are committed Christ-followers. His mother's family settled in North Dakota at the turn of the 20th century while his father's family were among the original settlers. Notable family members include: Peregrine White, the first baby born in the New World aboard the Mayflower in 1620; Roger Williams, the founder of Rhode Island; and James McHenry member of the Constitutional Convention and signer of the US Constitution.
