The Full Story
Adam began his career in the courtroom, but his passion for impact drew him to nonprofit consulting. What started as a temporary transition soon became the work that resonated most. The strategic problem-solving he refined as a trial attorney found a natural home in advising mission-driven organizations, and he has been with CCS ever since.
As a Partner today, Adam is known for helping nonprofits make decisions with clarity, confidence, and a sense of shared purpose. He works closely with leadership teams to assess organizational needs, plan for long-term sustainability, and guide campaigns and initiatives that require disciplined strategy and thoughtful change management. His legal background offers an additional lens on governance and systems, complementing a style that is collaborative, steady, and rooted in genuine partnership.
Beyond his client work, Adam is active in the broader social impact community. He serves on the Boards of local and national organizations, where he also chairs advancement committees. He holds a JD from Loyola University Chicago and a BA from Indiana University.
Adam lives in Columbus, Ohio, with his wife and two children. His time outside of work is shaped by spending time with his family, volunteering locally, and enjoying time outdoors—commitments that echo the same grounded energy he brings to his professional life.
I am inspired and motivated by our amazing client partners every day and feel so grateful to play a role in helping these incredible organizations further their missions.
