Adam is the founder of the International Center for Spiritual & Ancestral Wisdom (ICSAW) and the Native American Church of ICSAW (NAC of ICSAW). A longtime bridge-builder, he is dedicated to bringing Indigenous Elders, spiritual leaders, wisdom keepers, and communities together in a spirit of respect, relationship, and cultural exchange.

For more than three decades, Adam’s life and work have been shaped by relationships with Indigenous Elders and traditional communities throughout North and South America. Through years of listening, learning, traveling, ceremony, and service, he has worked to support the preservation and sharing of ancestral wisdom while fostering greater understanding between cultures, traditions, and generations. As part of this work, Adam leads and hosts a variety of ceremonies and sacred gatherings, creating spaces for prayer, healing, connection, and community.

At the heart of Adam’s work is a commitment to honoring ancestral knowledge, caring for Mother Earth, strengthening relationships among peoples, and creating opportunities for Elders and wisdom keepers to share their voices with future generations.

Through ICSAW, NAC of ICSAW, and Ancestral Voices Return, Adam continues this work of bringing people together—not to create a single spiritual path, but to provide a place where distinct traditions and voices can be heard, honored, and carried forward.
