My name is Phinn Adams. I grew up in Upstate New York, thirty minutes east of Syracuse, in a small town called Sherrill. I attended Vernon Verona Sherrill public high school until my junior year and transferred to boarding school as I was recruited to Trinity-Pawling School for lacrosse and soccer. As well as a rigorous schedule of athletics, Trinity-Pawling also exposed me to the study of art. I then continued higher education at Hobart and William Smith colleges, majoring in Art History with a minor in Studio Art.
