Sam Adams
Renaissance Man
Sam Adams is a prize-winning comedian, an award
winning journalist, an author, a local TV sports
analyst and some people thinks he makes a great beer.
Sam is featured on channel 9 on "A to Z". He is A and
Ron Zappolo is Z.
He has spoken to 21 Rotary Clubs so far. He started as
a Bronco beat writer with the Rocky Mountain News in
1993.
He did some standup Comedy as a sideline and won
an award at the Comedy Festival. When the Rocky
Mountain News closed in 2009, he was hired onto
the Denver Post by Woody Paige.
He decided he needed to follow his "passion" and
did so spending a lot of time in Nebraska going from
small town to small town. He advises and encourages
people to "exercise your right to laugh."
President Patti Bateman presented Sam with a
Rotary coin as a memento of his visit to our club.
