Adam Brody is the visionary President and CEO of Strategic Kids, an organization dedicated to empowering youth through "play with a purpose." Growing up within the foster care system, Adam faced a childhood marked by trauma and instability. However, it was through these challenges that he discovered the transformative power of mentorship and the game of chess. These experiences became the blueprint for his life’s work: providing children with the strategic tools they need to navigate life’s complexities both on and off the board.

While studying at UC Irvine, Adam began teaching chess at local elementary schools, including Foothill Ranch. What started as a collegiate endeavor quickly blossomed into a mission-driven career. He realized that chess was more than just a game; it was a vehicle for teaching critical thinking, patience, and confidence—skills especially vital for at-risk youth.
