He joins the Red Foxes after serving as an assistant coach at his alma mater, Franklin Pierce University, for the past three years. He was promoted to recruiting coordinator in September of 2020.
“We are happy to welcome Adam to Marist,” head coach Chris Tracz said. “He made an immediate impression when we started this process and I believe he will have a significant impact on our student-athletes on and off the field. He is a natural communicator and has a great reputation as a player and a coach. We look forward to the future with Adam on our staff.”
