Adam is nearing 25 years of theatre consulting, coming from an education in architecture coupled with work in technical theatre. He spent a summer at ARTEC Consultants in 1989 after a year-long internship with S. Leonard Auerbach & Associates, to which he would return for another 14 years. He became a licensed architect and Principal along the way and spent the entirety of his career equally steeped in the conception, design and implementation of auditoria and other performing arts and entertainment spaces, and technical production systems.

Adam founded The Shalleck Collaborative in 2003, and has since worked on nearly 150 projects of all scales and types. He also serves on the Advisory Board of the Virginia Tech School of Architecture + Design (his alma mater) and has authored articles and presented at several conferences including NATEAC 2008.  www.shalleck.com
