As a Charleston native, I grew up emersed in its history and folklore. From the Revolutionary War to Gullah legends, I was amazed that such a small city could hold so many stores. Like many Charlestonians before me, I fell into the arts as a way to tell these stories. As an actor and entertainer, I have spent my life learning to find connections to others through words. As a storyteller, I strive to paint this city's tales into the minds of my listeners as vividly as possible. And as a researcher, I am committed to finding the truth behind the stories. I obsess over the details and the connective tissue between then and now. I want others to see this town the way that I do, beautiful despite its flaws, a city of living history. They call us the Holy City, welcome to Charleston! I have an extensive background in storytelling and performance. I received my Bachelor's Degree in Performance Theatre from the College of Charleston as well as a Writing Degree from the Second City in Chicago. I was a stand-up comedian for 10 years as well as an actor of stage and screen for 20+ years. I have been a fully licensed tour guide for 6 years and a Charleston native my entire life. All of the tours that I give are walking tours; a car and driver are not needed.

    Our tour of Charleston was performed by Adam, a local whose story telling passion captured our imagination while bridging history to modern day times. Adam guided us to see and experience many of the historic treasures Charleston has to offer, layering in the narrative linked to each site. From national historic landmark St. Philip's Anglican Church and its notable people...

    Adam was spectacular. I have been on a city tour with tours by locals before and while that tour was also very good, it didn't compare to this one. Adam goes so deep into the history and anecdotal information about this incredibly rich city. Shares the good and the bad, the past and the current. Highly recommend! If we'd had more time, would have gone on one of his...

    I can’t say enough good things about our tour. Adam was not only incredibly knowledgeable but such a natural storyteller. My kids were obsessed with the ghost stories and pirate tales he threw in which made it fun for all of us!
