At the age of 16, Alex and his best friend were wrongfully convicted of a heinous crime and sentenced to prison. Tragically, only Alex survived the ordeal. After being released in 2011, he became determined to lead a life of purpose and impact.Alex reflects on the challenges he faced growing up, including being raised by separated parents, dealing with substance abuse, skipping school, and the traumatic day he and his best friend were arrested. He shares how losing his friend was a pivotal moment, driving him to turn his life around and strive for success. Now, his BURN is to inspire others who have faced similar challenges, particularly those who have been wrongfully convicted, offering them hope and encouragement through his story of resilience and redemption.Remember: You develop your greatest strengths during times of adversity. RISE UP. OWN IT. GROW.
