Adam Creuziger grew up in the small farming and paper mill city of Mosinee, Wisconsin, before graduating with a bachelor’s in aerospace engineering and mechanics from the University of Minnesota – Twin Cites and a master’s and Ph.D. in engineering mechanics from the University of Wisconsin – Madison. As a frequent watcher of "The X-Files" growing up and voted by his high school class as “most likely to be abducted by aliens,” Adam still finds it amusing that he has been working for the federal government since 2008.
