How do you persevere through adversity? Coach Gregg Adams shares how to overcome life's challenges in this inspiring talk where he shares his personal journey of dealing with loss, becoming a single dad and using life's lessons to help others. Gregg Adams is a Bay Area native, having grown up in Concord, CA. He moved to Sonoma County in 1990 to attend and play baseball at Sonoma State University. After his playing days were over, Gregg returned to SSU as an assistant baseball coach for 15 years.
Gregg’s life was forever changed in 2015 with the death of his wife, Leslie, from a long-time battle with Lupus.
