Adam Glickman is considered to be one of the nation's foremost experts on
condoms and safer sex issues. In 1991, Glickman opened Condomania, America's
first condom store, in New York City. As President and CEO of Condomania, he
now oversees all of Condomania's retail, mail order and Internet operations.
Born and raised in New York City, Glickman graduated from Tufts University
Magna Cum Laude with degrees in Philosophy and Sociology. While a student at
Tufts, Glickman created and sold condoms featuring Tufts' mascot, ultimately
founding his first company, Custom Condoms. Business boomed, condoms were
created for dozens of businesses and colleges, and before long he
co-invented the Knight Light Glow-In-The-Dark Condom.
Condomania and its President have been cited in over 1000 newspaper and
magazine articles in such publications as The New York Times, The Wall
Street Journal, Newsweek and Business Week. Glickman also has been featured
on numerous television and radio segments, including "20/20" and "Love
Lines" and stories on the History Channel, CNN, BBC, MTV, and E!
Entertainment Television.
Adam is currently a Global Board Member of Entrepreneurs' Organization's
(EO), an invitation-only global community of owners or founders of companies
with at least $1 million in annual revenue. Adam is also a member of the
ASTM (American Society for Testing Materials) Committee D11 for Rubber and
is a delegate from the U.S. to the ISO TC 157 Committee on Mechanical
Contraception.
With his extensive knowledge of all aspects of the condom industry over the
last 20 years, Glickman has served as a consultant to major manufacturers,
inventors and marketers.
In addition, Glickman has served as an expert witness in a criminal trial
testifying as to the existence and availability of some rare brands of
condoms and has consulted for the FBI on similar matters. Most recently,
Glickman testified in a federal trial as a plaintiff in a case brought by
the ACLU against the United States. The case, ACLU v. Gonzalez, is a
challenge to the Child Online Protection Act (COPA), which imposes severe
criminal and civil penalties on people, like Glickman, who put material on
the Internet that the government deems "harmful to minors" (with a
frighteningly broad definition of what that might be).
Among other awards, Glickman was recognized as one of the top 100
entrepreneurs in the nation under 30 by the National Collegiate
Entrepreneurial Association and he enjoys guest speaking at various
universities and conferences.
