HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ADAM! 🥳
For those who don’t know, 2026 has been a really, really tough year. Between the second great flood of Mission Valley (RIP 😭), tearing his bicep not once but TWICE, and undergoing two surgeries to repair it, Adam has had more than his fair share thrown at him.
And through all of it, he has never shown anything but positivity, optimism, resilience, and kindness to the people around him.
He took what could have been a devastating year and somehow turned it into something incredibly beautiful. With the help of our community, he rebuilt Mission Valley from the ground up, poured everything he had into ATR, and continued building these gyms into something so much bigger than four walls and some workout equipment.
Of course, Adam will probably refuse to take credit for any of it. But anyone who has spent time at ATR knows the impact he has had on this place and the people in it.
He believes wholeheartedly in what CrossFit is supposed to be: helping people live healthier, happier lives and creating a community where people genuinely care about one another. He leads by example, puts others before himself, works harder than just about anyone we know, and somehow still makes time to show up for the people around him.
Adam is truly the heart of ATR, and this community would not be what it is without him.
Beyond being an incredible owner and leader, he is an incredible father, husband, brother, son, friend, and human being. We are so incredibly grateful to have him leading this community and even luckier to call him our friend.
And if you don’t know Adam yet (which would be shocking because he knows EVERYONE), you should probably come meet him. Your life might never be the same. 😂
If you see him today, make sure you give him the BIGGEST happy birthday and an even bigger hug.
Thank you for everything you do, Adam. For ATR, for your coaches, for your members, and for this entire community. We love you very much and hope this next year gives back even a fraction of what you give to everyone else.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ADAM! 🩵🧡💛
