Adam grew up in South Dakota and attended the local schools in Brookings, his home town. When he was little, he was a voracious reader and loved the Harry Potter series. He said that he and his friends “grew up with the books,” since they were Harry’s age. He said he and his friends could identify with the books’ boys growing up. Adam performs with the Tanglewood Festival Chorus and regularly sings with the Boston Symphony Orchestra.

Elizabeth grew up in Petersham, Massachusetts, and attended Applewild School in Fitchburg and Deerfield Academy. Her favorite book growing up was Brave Irene by William Steig because “Steig’s illustrations are amazing” and because she loves winter. She says she also loves the fact that it’s about a little girl being brave. Elizabeth is also a huge Patriots fan.
