Adam Vetri is a veteran creator, showrunner, and award winning director. After graduating from the University of Colorado in 1992 with a BFA, his first step towards a career in the entertainment industry was moving to New York City where he wrote, produced, and directed the independent romantic comedy, “Not Afraid to Say…” His feature was hailed by Robert Koler, of Variety as, “Following in the footsteps of Woody Allen and Seinfeld…” and Tom Shales of the Washington Post as “funny, charming, and clever…”

After taking his feature on the film festival circuit in 2000, Adam settled in Los Angeles, where his career in reality television began. His first job in Hollywood was writing and producing episodes of “Blind Date” and “5thWheel.” Two years later, he sold “Assisted Reality,” a scripted comedy pilot to Columbia Tri-Star TV. The pilot was a comedic look at the behind the scenes of the reality dating world. In 2004, Adam received his first showrunning position for NBC on a new show called “The Biggest Loser.” He was one of the original creative voices in the development and execution of what has turned into a worldwide phenomenon.

In 2006, Adam Vetri formed his production company, Livin’ The Dream Entertainment, which he currently runs. Shows that have been created and produced by Livin’ The Dream and directed by him include the critically acclaimed “Dare to Live” for MTV, “Hip Hop Houdini” for Fuse, “Knight Fight” for History, “This Is Why You’re Single” for TLC, and “I Really Wanna Direct” for E!

As a director, Adam’s credits range from big budget multi-cam shows like “Top Shot” for History, “Amazing Race” for CBS, “Abby’s Ultimate Dance Competition” for Lifetime and “Steve Austin’s Broken Skull Challenge” for CMT, to more intimate and gritty docu-series like “The Devil’s Ride” for Discovery and “Prison Transport” for A&E.

Adam has been nominated for three Best Director Achievement for Reality Television awards by the prestigious Director’s Guild of America and won in 2015 for Steve Austin’s Broken Skull Challenge for CMT. He was also nominated in 2019 and won an Imagen Award for Best Variety or Reality Show, Hip-Hop Houdini (Fuse; 7Beyond).
