To support English teachers, Adam founded a curriculum design company called Rigorous Resources. His goal was to create top-quality lesson plans on literary texts by diverse authors.

The teaching resources made by Rigorous Resources are now being utilized in thousands of English classrooms around the world. They are also used by hundreds of homeschooling parents to cultivate a life-long love of literature in their teenage children. You can browse such resources at my TPT store.
In his spare time, Adam enjoys outdoor activities like hiking, biking, and camping. He also loves playing outdoors with his two kids. He hopes they'll grow up to share his passions for reading, writing, and outdoor adventure.
