Adam Yezek was born on March 5, 1987, in Ansbach, Germany. He traveled extensively with his family while growing up, eventually settling in Brainerd. Here he graduated high school in 2005 and CLC College in 2008 with high honors. He met many friends with whom he loved to spend time, along with his family.
