While Adam is very eager to please, he sometimes makes impulsive decisions (such as accepting a call from his fiancé during a stakeout). They were shown to have a close and playful relationship, sending racy photos of each other back and forth. He did not reveal to her too much about what goes on at work to protect her.

Later on, he became engaged in to a woman named Wendy. Since then, he has remained a member of Intelligence. When Intelligence needed an undercover officer, Adam was taken right out of the Academy. He later attended classes at the police academy. When he was 18, Adam was engaged to his girlfriend Nicole but broke it off as both felt they were too young.

Growing up, Adam was very close to his father who made the time out of his busy job to spend as much time as he could with him. This is most likely the reason that Adam sought to become a police officer. Bob Ruzek, his father, served with both Sergeant Voight and Detective Olinsky, Adam's former partner. Adam's parents divorced when he was a child.
