Adam enjoys hiking and travelling with his wife, Alanna, and two boys, Caden and Atlas. He is a big supporter of Kids Help Phone and is the BMO Private Wealth National Ambassador for Walk So Kids Can Talk this year. He also loves snowboarding, soccer, and rugby but the bumps and bruises hurt more with each passing year.
