About Adam

I got interested in the biotech industry while still a senior in college at USC. I was studying biomedical/chemical engineering and had the opportunity to take a class on the subject. I was also able to research on viral vectors with the same professor that was teaching the course. These two experiences led me to solely apply for biotech in southern California. I was fortunate to get a foot in the door at Amgen as a manufacturing associate. After 2.5 years of a crash course into manufacturing I met with a mentor in drug product process development. He happened to have a position open under him and brought me under his wing. I have not looked back since and have taken every possible chance to challenge myself and learn along the way. Now I am working with international cotract manufacturers ensuring successful production of drugs which enhance the lives of patients around the world.

My passions in life are to make a difference and have fun along the way.
