Adam Paton

My name is Adam Paton. I grew up in Dryden, Michigan, a small farm town of 1000 people. After graduating high school in 2013, I joined the U.S. Air Force as a munition systems specialist and served five years. I was stationed in Italy, South Korea, and Florida until I separated as a Staff Sergeant in 2018. Once my military service was completed, I decided to pursue my education at Penn State University in State College, Pennsylvania. After three years full-time while working part-time, I graduated with a bachelor's and master's degree simultaneously. In May 2021, I received a Bachelor of Arts in International Politics and a Master of International Affairs with concentrations in dispute resolution and international business and economic development. Upon graduating from Penn State, I accepted a Representative position at KPMG’s HR Compliance team in Dallas, Texas. In August of 2022, I moved back to Dryden, Michigan. I continue to work as a Senior Representative for KPMG’s Compliance team.
