[7] A native of Fort Lauderdale, Florida,[8] Adler attended Northfield Mount Hermon School and initially intended to pursue a collegiate wrestling career, but injuries forced him to stop.
Adler walked onto the lacrosse team at Bentley during his freshman season and was initially their fifth faceoff specialist, though over his four years, he worked his way into a starting role and finished his collegiate career as a two-time Division II All-American.
[8] He was drafted by the Denver Outlaws, winning a spot in the lineup after primary faceoff specialist Tommy Kelly suffered an injury.
Adler declined an invitation to join the Premier Lacrosse League upon its founding in 2018 citing loyalty to the Outlaws and a desire to play for a city-based team.
Adler joined many of his Chaos teammates on the Bandits, and scored his first NLL goal on a penalty shot against the Rochester Knighthawks.
