Adam got started refereeing as a way to make money. As time passed he grew into the game and it became more about a love for the game. When he started in the game, he was timid. Over the years he has learned from other officials and mentors who have helped his confidence grow immensley. Outside of school and soccer, Adam volunteers for Open Door Ministries, which helps provide food to those who are in need. He says that soccer has taught him a lot about other things in life and skills that he uses everyday. He plans to continue refereeing and has the goal of upgrading to a regional referee in the near future, along with giving back to the game encouraging other young referees along the way. 

Congratulations to Jessica & Adam for being recognized by the MSYSA & the MRC for your contributions both on and off the field. After each state picks their award winners, they are put into the category for the Regional Young Referee of the Year. We are excited that Adam was selected as the Midwest Region Young Male Referee of the Year as well!
