From the age of 8 years old Adam found himself obsessed with films and wrestling. His school reports said he was "a day dreamer" but Adam knew exactly what he was passionate about even at such a young age. In his final GCSE exams he was kicked out of drama class as he didn't understand why course work was important in such a practical subject. In 1995 Adam left school at the age of 16 to find work options were very slim, so he started his adult years as a trainee carpenter. Adam remained in that profession until 1998 at which time he decided he wanted to pursue his passions.

This led to Adam being featured in many local newspapers back in England and he returned to England late 2002 to train others how to wrestle. In 2004 Adam decided it was time to pursue films and in 2006 he left wrestling to concentrate on his new venture but before doing so he placed 4th in NABBA Mr Britain Novice class.
