Meet Our Team
Alex
Our guide Alex started his journey to us after his lowest point- being kicked off from NASA for sleeping on the job! Or maybe it was after he didn’t become a famous rockstar even though his version of “You Are My Sunshine” will have you wiping tears from your eyes. Life didn’t give Alex lemons, it gave him Rome and a golf cart, and Life is great! Alex doesn’t sleep on the job anymore but you may catch him whistling a special tune while driving!
