Portrait of Adam Flores

About My Hometown

I grew up in South Orange County, specifically Trabuco Canyon. It was a wonderful place to grow up, offering plenty of opportunities. I played both basketball and baseball, which eventually led me to become a basketball coach right after high school, connecting me even more with my community. The area is full of beautiful biking trails, and being just 15 minutes from the beach, I spent a lot of time surfing, especially at Laguna Beach, one of the most beautiful places I know.

My Education and Future Plans

I am pursuing dual majors in IT and AI. My goal is to master the fundamentals of programming, design, and artificial intelligence so I can apply these tools effectively. I intend to use these skills to grow my current businesses—a festival and a record label—and also to explore new ventures in the future. In fact, I’m currently building a web app for my boss, who manages around 20,000 domains, and it’s been a rewarding experience. Even with just a few IT classes so far, I’ve already accomplished a lot, and I’m eager to tackle more projects like this.

My Relationship with the Internet

The internet is a powerful tool in my life. It allows me to connect with others and instantly access information. While I spend a lot of time online, I aim to shift toward more learning and less social media. I also balance my digital time with outdoor activities, making it a dynamic relationship between the online world and nature.
