An Unexpected Community - Finding and sharing a love for the outdoors with Alek Wiggins of Beyond Boundaries
In this episode we chat with Alek Wiggins, the Programs Coordinator at Beyond Boundaries. Growing up in Richmond, Virginia, Alek surprisingly found a love for skiing and the mountains during his time at Colorado Mountain College. When he returned to Richmond, Alek's love for adventure expanded to include kayaking and climbing. As a CAD designer, it was hard to stare at a screen all week. Then, the perfect opportunity presented itself when he connected with Beyond Boundaries, a nonprofit that believes adventure is for everyone. Alek took on the role of Programs Coordinator, embracing the chance to not only escape the screen but also make a positive impact on the lives of others. Now Alek dedicates himself to helping individuals of all abilities experience the wonders of the great outdoors. From whitewater rafting and rock climbing to hikes and fishing trips, the adventures at Beyond Boundaries never stop. If you've ever wondered about the magic of the outdoor community and the rewards of pursuing your true calling, this episode is for you!
