Interview with Adam
Tell us about yourself
My name is Adam, I am really funny and love to play sports. I grew up in AZ and enjoy being outside most of the time, even if it’s super hot. I have three kids that I love to spend time with and I’m trying my best to turn them into good humans. My wife and I like to travel and watch drama-filled reality TV together.
Why did you become a physical therapy assistant?
I became a PTA after seeing the therapy team help my father while he was in need. I wanted to help people the way they helped him.
Why do you think your coworkers nominated you for being Persistent?
I may have been nominated for this award for being persistent because I like to get things done, and I am dedicated to making sure I make it happen, regardless of obstacles that may come up.
What do you love most about working with TEAM 4 Kids?
I love working at TEAM 4 Kids for the collaboration with teammates and helping kids reach all of their goals.
If you could have one wish come true, what would it be?
If I had one wish, I would wish to have unlimited resources/funds to help the world in a more impactful way, while also getting to spend tons of time with my family.
