MC, Speaker, Comedian, Author and Maths Geek
A lifelong numbers nerd, Adam flitted with a law degree and a PhD in pure maths before winning a stand-up comedy competition run by triple j radio.
Within a couple of years Adam was hosting the breakfast radio show with his good friend Wil Anderson. After six years, Adam and Wil called it a day. But a year later Adam was back on the grown-up ABC Sydney 702 radio station where for eight years he set ratings records in Australia’s largest and most competitive market.
In December 2013 he called an end to eight years of news, traffic, weather and chess results on what was without doubt the geekiest radio show Sydney had heard in a very long time, if ever.
Adam has complemented his radio career with numerous television roles hosting everything from the national science show Quantum to poker championships, to appearing on the weekly sports review The Back Page and ABC news and current affairs wrap The Drum.
A passionate sports lover, Adam is an ambassador for the Sydney Swans and in 2016 had the honour of being their Number 1 ticket holder.Listeners to his radio shows know well that he coached a women’s soccer team at the University of Sydney for over a decade.Adam is a leading keynote speaker on artificial intelligence (AI), cyber security, the future of work, and the Chat GPT revolution. His two daughters love him, but wish he wouldn’t turn every conversation into an exploration of mathematics.
