Adam Dirks

Adam Dirks is not only Bethany Hamilton’s husband, but he has played a key role in the lives of many young people as a youth leader and teacher. His passin for God and love for others is infectious. Growing up in Kansas playing football, his heart was always drawn to work with kids. This inspired Adam to pursue a degree in elementary education at Tabor College, and during the summers, he worked at a sports camp for kids. Adam felt certain there was a greater calling in life and followed that call all the way to Kauai, where, in 2011, he helped establish a ministry focusing on running clubs and summer camps for high school students. Adam continues to spread God’s word and is now partnering with Bethany on encouraging youth and ultimately being the best parents they can be to their son, Tobias.
