Adam Weitsman is the CEO of Upstate Shredding - Weitsman Recycling, the largest privately held scrap metal recycling company headquartered in Owego, NY, which now has 17 locations throughout New York and Pennsylvania. He co-owns several restaurants throughout NY including The Krebs in Skaneateles, NY, whose profits go towards local charities for women and children.

In 2015, Adam built a heavy media plant in his Owego facility to bring more job opportunities to the Southern Tier region of New York. In July 2018, Weitsman announced the addition of a new shredder to his Port of Albany location to create jobs in the area.

An art collector and philanthropist, Adam donated his 19th-century American stoneware collection valued at $10 million to the New York State Museum in Albany in 2014.

Adam has become known as one of Syracuse basketball’s biggest fans, and is also a long-time, proud supporter of the Boys & Girls Club. In 2019, Weitsman made a donation of $175,000 in celebration of Syracuse’s win over Duke.
