Our Team

PRESIDENT

Adam is the Co-Founder and President of the Santa’s Stars foundation. He was born in Hawaii and grew up in Oak Harbor where he graduated High School. In 1996 he enlisted in the United States Navy. He retired from the U.S. Navy and Navy Reserve as a Senior Chief Petty Officer after serving honorably for over 25 years. He currently works for a Law Enforcement agency in North Central Washington State. During his time on patrol, he noticed the smaller communities were left out of many of the holiday events in the county. In 2016 he turned his vision into Santa’s Stars. He brought together First Responders to make his vision a reality. He is proud of what Santa’s Stars has accomplished and is excited to see where Santa’s Stars goes from here. Our team is dedicated to our mission of ensuring that no child and their families are forgotten during the holiday season.
