Adam Petrovsky was born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree, with a major in Biology, from the University of Missouri at Kansas City and entered an accelerated medical-school program soon thereafter. While fascinated by the science of medicine, Adam struggled with the academic rigors of year-round postgraduate training and took on his first sales job selling Information Technology solutions.
With an inherent talent for salesmanship and a genetic predisposition for selling (his father excelled at the skill), Mr. Petrovsky has led a 20-year career in sales, sales training, and sales leadership. He has trained over 1,000 salespeople across the United States in sales methodologies and has worked with sales leaders in the Information Technology industry. He continues to do what he loves, directly mentoring and leading a sales team.
In the summer of 2003 Adam rekindled his love of science and biology by founding the Arizona Skeptical Society, a nonprofit think tank for critical thinking, science, and the education of the scientific method. Associated with the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry (CSI), the Arizona organization has allowed Mr. Petrovsky to further study evolution, logical thinking, scientific debate, and philosophy.
Mr. Petrovsky currently lives in Phoenix, Arizona, with his wife and two children.
