Getting to know Tommy Adam...

What is the most challenging aspect of overseeing all video & IT matters at DSP? Well, when it comes to game day, there are moments when you run out of time, and things go wrong and you find yourself hectic and running around like a chicken with your head cut off. Trying to keep cool during those times is a challenge.

You have a really cool wedding story. Give us the low-down! Going to Montauk, Long Island, New York and getting married to the love of your life at the oldest lighthouse in America (above), and the guy who married you was the same guy who married Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger at that same lighthouse, and of course, now having a New York State marriage license…….. what else is there !?!

Favorite Travs memory: 1. 26 inning game till 2 a.m. 2. At Ray Winder field in April, it dropped to 20 degrees out and with an open press box…..with no heater...yeah.

My ideal meal consists of: Reallly healthy food…..and a Boston Cream Pie from the Parker House Hotel in Boston.

Favorite sports teams: Green Bay Packers and U of A Basketball and Football

If you could travel anywhere in the world for free for two weeks, where are you going? Bora Bora, Indonesia in one of those huts with the glass bottom floor

You can see any band or singer, dead or alive, who are you going to see? Frank Sinatra

Name something you can't do that you wish you could: Not procrastinate

What is your favorite number? Whatever the current Power Ball number is

Ideal sleeping temperature? 74 in the summer and 68 in the winter

You'll oftentimes see Tommy running around Dickey-Stephens Park on game days. Make sure you stop him to say hi!
