Alec might be a Greensboro local now, but his roots are in Cincinnati, OH. Growing up with a yogi for a mom and a runner for a dad, movement was pretty much in his DNA. He dabbled in all kinds of sports as a kid but found his true grit on the wrestling mat—maybe that’s why he actually enjoys burpees!

After spending a decade as an Outdoor Educator, leading adventures and helping people push past their limits, Alec felt the pull back to physical fitness. But his love for teaching never faded. One year of CrossFit was all it took for him to dive in headfirst and earn his CF-L1 certification. Now, he gets to experience the best part of coaching—watching people realize, “There is more in us than we know, if we could be made to see it—perhaps we will be unwilling to settle for less.”
