Alex is a true native New Yorker, born and raised in Washington Heights, NY. As a child, most of his outdoor experience came from playing outside with his older brother at the park in front of his building. His imagination was the key that opened a world of countless connections with the earth. He would spend hours playing in tree houses he built out of cardboard boxes from the local bodega. He strongly believes that each person he can lead into nature is one more person connecting with their true self. In addition to being a hiking guide, Alex also uses a holistic approach in connecting to the more-than-human world through guided Nature Medicine Walks. Alex, invites you to join him outdoors and connect deeper to world around you. The Forest is the therapist; the Guide just opens the door.
