“I worked really hard to get here and a lot of answered prayers,” Adam said. “We did it. You lean on your faith when there’s hard days in this business. Channing and I had a talk on the bus and we said, ‘Man, it’s the guys and the gals that don’t give up on their dreams that will eventually make it.' I have never wavered. This is the only thing I’ve wanted to do. I look back at all I’ve been through and I’m just grateful that’s all I can say.”
