About me:
Adam Greenberg is a 2007 graduate of the University of Miami. A Bowman Foster Ashe scholar, Adam earned a Bachelor of Science with a degree in psychology and minors in biology and business administration after changing majors about six times.

Adam currently enjoys the privilege of serving as an intern in the administration of President Barack Obama at the White House Council on Environmental Quality.

Prior to this, Adam spent the summer up in Portland, OR, where as a 2009 Fellow with PolitiCorps - a progressive public policy initiative of the Oregon Bus Project - Adam and 22 other Fellows learned real-world applications of leadership skills and campaign savvy. They registered voters, organized communities, vetted public policy white papers, launched media campaigns, and more.

A busy year for Adam, he spent the first half of 2009 in Santa Monica, CA as an intern with TOMS Shoes; an incredible for-profit company where with every pair you purchase, another pair of new shoes is given to a child in need. One for One.

On the ‘08 Campaign Trail, Adam lived on and traveled the country aboard a school bus converted to run on recycled waste vegetable oil and with solar paneled electrical power. Working with 12 other young people as an environmental education non-profit called BioTour, he went to colleges and high schools across the country, speaking with thousands of students and presenting pathways toward sustainability in renewable energy, our potential in green jobs, and perhaps most importantly, by simply advocating for a more active and participatory democracy - a truly educated electorate.

And prior, Adam had one of the best years of his life - serving with AmeriCorps*NCCC, rebuilding homes through Habitat for Humanity with the people of New Orleans; tutoring in a 6th grade math class; and reading and playing with kindergartners in Biloxi, MS, among other great experiences.

As a student activist in college and recognized as a 2007 Fellow of Young People For, Adam spoke out for the rights of his campus janitors to form a union as they wished and earn a more livable wage.

He enjoys a fair bit of ping-pong, live music, good conversation, and is a regular lender of Kiva.org. Adam was born and raised in Wantagh, NY.
