Adam Schram
Adam Schram, a staff writer reviewing home office equipment for Tom's Guide, dutifully tests all kinds of gear to make your workday run more smoothly—everything from standing desks to ergonomic chairs to cable management systems. Ever since he set up his first home office, he has made it a priority to turn that room into a sacred space, and he'll stop at nothing to have the most streamlined work-from-home setup of all time.
Before Tom's Guide, Adam covered a wide range of beats in the fitness and hobby industries. He reviewed running gear for Runner's World, cycling gear for Bicycling, and mixology and Lego gadgets for Popular Mechanics. Prior to his journalism tenure, he was a mechanic at his hometown bike shop for nearly seven years.
Based in Philadelphia, Adam can often be found in the wild rattling through rock gardens on his cross-country bike, standing just outside the mosh pit of a local DIY show, or hunkering down with a pile of brain games until his head feels heavy.
