William & Mary Athletics

One of the top players ever to take the hardwood for William & Mary, Adam graduated as the only two-time First Team All-CAA selection in W&M history (2003 and 2004) – and one of only five W&M players to ever earn first-team distinction from the league.
 
A transfer into the program from Eastern Michigan in his sophomore season, he ranks 15th in W&M history, scoring at 1,341 points.  Hess led the CAA in scoring as a senior in 2004, ringing up 20.3 points per game, which also ranked him 22nd nationally and is eighth in W&M history.   He averaged better than 20 points per game in each of his final two seasons and his scoring average of 20.1 ppg in 2003 ranked 39th nationally and is 11th in W&M history.  His career scoring average of 17.9 ppg at W&M ranks sixth in school history.
 
He was a two-time First Team NABC All-District selection (2003 and 2004) and the VaSID State Player of the Year in 2003 (and earned VaSID All-State honors in both 2003 and 2004).
 
A true scholar-athlete, Hess was a two-time Academic All-American (Second Team in 2003 and First Team in 2004) and was named as the 2004 NCAA Post Graduate Scholarship Award winner. Additionally, he was a two-time CAA Men's Basketball Scholar-Athlete of the Year (2003, 2004) and a three-time CAA All-Academic Team choice (2002, 2003, and 2004).  
 
After graduation, he went onto a long and successful professional playing career throughout Europe. Since retiring from the professional ranks, he and his wife, Julia, live in St. Petersburg, Florida, with their two daughters, Emily and Lexi.  Their family enjoys traveling and spending their free time outdoors; biking, going to the beach or doing some type of water related activity.  Adam works in wealth management with UBS.
