Producer, Actor, Host, Musician.  Who would have ever thought that after 20 years in the Advertising industry, life's path would lead Adam to The Living Dead Mafia.  

With varied corporate experience ranging from Advertising, Publishing, Sales, Management, and Website Development, plus an educational background including schooling from SUNY Farmingdale and the Connecticut School of Broadcasting, he certainly never saw himself as one day being able to blend his knowledge and skills honed over the years of his career, with the other half of his personality...The creative side that loves, music, horror and science fiction.  

Yet this is life and we never do know where it will lead and this life led him to his wife Elsie, who one day unveiled to him a dream called The Living Dead Mafia. It was from that moment that this husband and wife team united with the common cause of bringing that dream to reality.

From the start he helped Elsie to hone the Living Dead Mafia show script, once complete he brought The Deadfather to life as Elsie had envisioned the character in her mind's eye. Acting in the show, and doing various live appearances only further brought Salvatore Rizzo from fiction to living breathing flesh. Aside from The Deadfather, he has played and developed The Fly Man, Bobby Vegas, and Crispy characters as well.

As the project progressed, Adam built and managed the Frightmare haunted house, developed the Deathly Yours TV and LDM Radio concepts, and has become the feature Voice Over artist for the various commercials produced by The Living Dead Mafia and WitchWitch Productions.  

In 2009 he conceived and now hosts and produces The Pod of The Dead radio program with his co-host Robert Frankenberg. This year also brought The LDM band into the picture and as the guitar player for the band, Adam contributed with songs for the band as well as The Living Dead Mafia's two man acoustic comedy act.

Currently the Webmaster/Online Editor of LivingDeadMafia.com, over the course of the project he's had a hand in virtually every aspect. From building stages to acting on them, from prop selection to building them, there is nothing that he has not tried at least once and he never expects anyone on staff to do anything that he would not do himself.  

"You never know where a new road will take you unless you take the turn and go down it. If this feels like something that you need to work up the nerve to do, then this just may be a threshold moment in your life. If so, step through. Life is full of moments, and some are rare and offer opportunities to travel down new roads, or break out of the same daily routine. Moments that when faced with the same thoughts and feelings that lead us for years to the same type of decisions, only leave us saying later...I wonder what would have happened if?  I'm no longer wondering.  I'm doing."
