Lee "Apollo" Adama is the elder son of Caroline and William Adama. He was raised largely by his mother on Caprica, following his parents' divorce when he was eight. Adama inherited his father's passion for flying, which led him to enroll in the Colonial military reserves after graduating from college.

Following his basic training, he graduated from the military academy third in his class and immediately applied for flight school. Adama proved himself a gifted and natural pilot, hampered only by his tendency to over-intellectualize things. (battlestarwiki.org)
