Adam Bates
Associate Sales Representative
I was born and raised in Altamonte Springs FL graduating from Lake Brantley High School Right after graduation with my baseball playing days coming to an end, I started umpiring youth and high school baseball which I still do to this day. Being a high school sports official for over 28 years has kept me involved in the school system at multiple levels and in multiple counties across Central Florida which I love more and more everyday. After High School I attended Seminole Community College and then finished my education at Auburn University where I met my wife of 21 years who attended Dr Phillips High School In Orlando. We are the proud parents of a Freshman At UCF, a sophomore at West Orange High School, and a 6th grader. I am very passionate about helping all parts of the academic athletic and arts ecosystem in Central Florida and beyond. Being a representative of Vertical Raise allows me to continue my personal mission of making an IMPACT within the Academic, Athletic, and Arts communities of our schools. Everyday I strive to help students, teachers and the many education leaders continue to make a difference in our communities.
