Brandon Adam is hungry for gold after a silver-medal finish in 2011. He has new sponsors, a new trainer and says he's stronger and more fit than at WX 2011. Adams brings his military attitude to Winter X: don't complain and work hard. An Army veteran, Brandon lost his legs in Iraq on May 5, 2007, when he encountered an IED. He says he's learned from his WX 2011 experience and will go even harder in 2012.
