Alex (He/They) is the Founding Director of UMI, Awake in the Wild meditation teacher, Work that Reconnect facilitator, Dive Master, Eco-Chaplain, Father, and lifelong Ocean-lover. Their passion for the Ocean was instilled by their grandparents, who sailed, fished, and picnicked on the beach, and by their mother and father, who introduced them to snorkeling and SCUBA at a young age.

Alex designs programs that help people reconnect to the Earth as a means of personal and societal transformation. They believe that our estrangement from Nature is at the heart of many of the crises unfolding in our lifetime.

Alex’s teaching style centers action — empowering individuals to live their core values.
