Adam hols a B.A. in English with with a second major in Criminology/Law Studies from Marquette University, where he graduated Phi Beta Kappa and Magna Cum Laude in 1995. Adam's life lessons cover everything from the 90/10 rule (90% of the people are decent in ways that count. 10% not so much), and why real cops hate police hats?
