Born in the Midwestern state of Iowa, Adam's path to acting began in his senior year of high school, where he turned a mere love of movies into the lead part in his school play. After that, Meirick decided to pursue acting with a greater interest. He looked to whatever project he could get his hands on. While he attended the University of Northern Iowa, he sought after plays, shorts, student films, and writing his own work, to continue to grow within the arts. Then, in 2008, he gained a supporting role in the 70s throwback horror film The Season. A film in which he was also given the opportunity to take on the behind the scenes role of producer. After that he landed another role in Underground, furthering his ambitions to work in film. While prominently chasing after acting roles, Adam also continues to work behind the scenes as much as he can to stay active in the industry.
