      Biography



      Adam was born in the late 19th century in Nižepole, then part of the Ottoman Empire (now in North Macedonia). He organized the National Committee of his hometown, Nižepole very early (before 1903) and set up an armed group headed by himself. Its purpose was to face Bulgarian armed action in the areas of Pelagonia and Florina until 1904, when officers arrived from free Greece.
      Later, his group cooperated in many operations with the Cretan officer Ioannis Karavitis until 1907. In 1908, his group, consisting mainly of Nižepole locals, under the general instructions of the Cretan Panagiotis Gerogiannis, dealt with multiple Bulgarian armed groups.
      His actions continued until the First Balkan War in 1912 and after the Young Turk Revolution, as Bulgarian armed groups continued to fight in the Pelagonia area.
