Adjunct Professor of Kinesiology
Adam is a graduate of Emmanuel University with a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Kinesiology and also a graduate of the Medical College of Georgia with a Master’s degree in Physical Therapy. He has been teaching in the Kinesiology department at Emmanuel University for the past 2 years in the pre-Physical Therapy tract.
After being the Director of Rehab Services at AnMed/VBS clinic in Anderson, SC, Adam started his own business and founded Northeast GA Rehabilitation Center, an outpatient physical therapy clinic located in Franklin Springs, over 15 years ago. The clinic sees a wide variety of patients who are dealing with neurological, orthopedic, and general medical issues. Adam is also certified in performing Dry Needling treatments, a technique using acupuncture needles of various sizes to relieve pain from headaches and promote healing to myofascial and musculoskeletal trigger points in the extremities, cervical, and lumbopelvic spinal regions. His clinic’s success is the result of genuinely caring for his patients and is a collaborative team effort.
He is actively involved in creating self-sustaining international missions programs through Hopeful Hearts Ministries, a 501(c)3 foundation that he and his wife operate. These programs focus on feeding and educating the hurting and the hopeless by using aquaponic systems that provide food and generate revenue.
He enjoys doing nerdy things like researching all sorts of therapeutic modalities and their effects on the healing process on the body to researching theta and vega values of put and call option contracts. He does enjoy doing non-nerdy things too…like backpacking and camping, running marathons and triathlons, playing golf, and climbing mountains all over the world.
He and his wife Dawn both serve regularly in their local church, The Grove, in Maysville, GA, in the middle school ministry and currently live in Jefferson, GA with their 3 children, Anna(19), Livy(16), and James(10).
