Meet our Math & Operations Director
Adam Haumer (he/him)
Being raised in a military family, Adam grew up in various towns along the East Coast. After graduating from high school in Montville, Connecticut, Adam relocated to Tucson, Arizona, to pursue a degree in Mathematics at the University of Arizona. While completing his B.S., he became actively involved with Camp Wildcat, a student-run, non-profit organization taking underprivileged youth from the Tucson area on weekend-long camping trips in hopes of providing them with positive opportunities to attain personal success.
After receiving his degree, Adam accepted a position with the Tohono O’odham Nation teaching mathematics on the reservation in Topawa, Arizona. While working with these students, he seized the chance to coach both the middle school football and baseball teams, bringing the baseball team to an undefeated 2016 regular season. These opportunities allowed Adam to form personal connections with the students and community members of the Tohono O’odham Nation.
Despite his positive experience teaching in Topawa, Adam moved to Texas to be closer to family. After visiting the area and discovering that Appamada School would serve as a unique outlet for his passion in mathematics, he quickly decided that Austin was the right place for him.
