Meet Alex!

I enjoy finding the joy in the junk of life. We will always face trials and hardships but it’s how we face them that matters. Our pain can always be used for purpose. Becoming paralyzed at 17 from a drunk driver facing death I am truly blessed to be here today getting to share my message that there’s reason on the other side of a wreck. No pun intended. Today I get to teach individuals how to shoot a bow and arrow along with shooting one myself. 10 years later I’ve found my purpose with Jesus and archery.
