Adam's Bio

I moved to Chicago from Kansas City as a sophomore in high school, more a move to get better coverage of my earth shattering high school sports career than anything else. Stevenson high school in Lincolnshire was the place, and the NFL scouts were pretty hot on my tail. Things happened, people got hurt, a lot of tears were shed and I had come to grips with the fact that the gridiron just wasn’t the path chosen for Ole’ AB. No matter, I attended the University of Wisconsin – Madison based on its rigorous academic curriculum and intense experiential based pedagogy. Well maybe it’s because it was voted the top party school in the country a few times, but 6 of 1 half a dozen of the other.

Anyway, somehow I weaseled my way into a position as an analyst for an analytical consulting firm in the pharma and biotech space, which was a good time for about 4 years. At some point I realized that the consulting gig wasn’t really puttin’ the premium gas in the tank of this sports car, so I applied to graduate school at the Kellogg School of Management, somehow got accepted, and spent the next couple years figuring out how to run the world as CEO of planet Earth in various hilarious situational case studies.

Kraft was the next stop, straight onto the Philadelphia Cream Cheese train, and here we are. I’m an Associate Brand Manager for PHILADELPHIA cream cheese, and apparently we have a really awesome new reduced fat Cream Cheese product that is launching soon, so I guess it’s time to get my shtuff togeza…
