In his book, Adam praises Sharri for the role she plays in her family.

He dotes on how she's "an extraordinary wife, mother, caretaker, and homemaker."

Adam believes that his wife Sharri is the missing piece to the puzzle of his life. Two people longing for emotional support found it in each other. “She’s helped me to push to the professional position I am in today,” Adam said in a FrontPage story. “I couldn’t be the father I am were it not for her, and I couldn’t be in the position I am were it not for her,” he added. 

Sharri and Adam have a daughter together named Dylan.
