He was born January 12, 1981, in Clovis, New Mexico to Sandy and Donna (Hastings) Ridenour. Adam grew up in Portales where he attended school. In his late teens, Adam moved to Louisiana where he worked for Walmart, later transferring to their location in Albuquerque and Lubbock making this his home in 2010.
