The initial driving force behind Adam attending Ulster University to complete a BSc in Human Nutrition with 1st class honours and a subsequent MSc in Sports and Exercise Nutrition was a deep interest in both bodybuilding and combat sports. Both of which are heavily influenced and arguably won or lost in the kitchen.

He then moved into performance coaching for individuals who wanted to change their physique and life. This evolved over years and grew to incorporate many of the principles taught at Combe Grove.
