Adam Fields, 2009 World Wakeboard Champion and 2011 Brostock BIg Air World Champion, grew up on Lake Gaston NC/VA. He has developed his wakeboarding skills and passion into a career as a professional athlete, trainer, coach and business entrepreneur so he can be "paid to play." In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
