Hey! I’m Alex.

“I’m not here”
That was the lingering belief I carried as a young boy into my early adulthood. I grew up as the youngest of 4 children to Haitian immigrants but always found myself feeling out of place at home, at school, in my community, basically everywhere.

This paved the road for me to show up inauthentic. I used humor as a way to fit in. I didn’t stand up for myself at crucial moments and deflected responsibility for my academic struggles. I used drugs to mask my pain and loneliness. I burned bridges and relationships due to feeling inadequate, isolation was my ‘companion and captor’.

I was drifting along life, unmotivated, purposeless, and riddled with insecurities.
My life dramatically shifted in December 2005, when I met a beautiful woman named Sarah on MySpace
(Yes you read that correctly) and we soon fell in love.
We have built a beautiful life with 2 kids and have walked the entrepreneurial journey supporting and challenging one another.

She reignited what I already had inside of me: a desire to serve, a hunger to achieve, and a voice!
Since 2014, I have been immersed in personal growth and transformation.
I’ve been blessed to have been mentored and coached by some of the best business leaders in that space.

My upbringing and experiences have greatly influenced my life’s work as a Professional Speaker and Trainer.
The focus I carry into any partnership, relationship, and collaboration is simple:
Everybody Wins, Including Me!

This philosophy has allowed me to be the architect of a global movement that has raised over six figures for charitable causes.
This way of being has propelled me into creating global communities for coaches of color to support them in growing their businesses and elevating their voices in the coaching profession.

As a result of focusing on the big picture aka building a bigger bubble, I have partnered with world-class organizations to attract and retain embodied leaders so that they can end the recruitment rollercoaster and ensure sustainable growth.

By implementing my GROW (Gain, Retain, Optimize, and Win) strategy, these companies cultivate inclusive and thriving ecosystems where top-tier talent loves working for them and clients love being in business with them.

I understand how important the standing ovations and rave reviews are for all of us who are partnering to put on a memorable event. Throughout the years, I've spoken to thousands of people supporting them with their self-image, emotional intelligence, and communication skills as leaders. So, partnering with organizations, event professionals, and associations is something I have great respect for and treat very delicately.

If you’re looking for a speaker with high energy, a razor-sharp wit, and lots of fun, then I’m your guy. That's my commitment to you. I'm also very easy-going and dependable;  no weird temperament, or high-maintenance attitude to worry about, here.

That's another promise, making YOU look good by being prepared and engaged to ensure your event is a world-class success. Remember everybody wins, including me!

On a personal note, I grew up in Brentwood, NY but North Carolina has been our home since 2017. I love the adventures with my best half, Sarah, our 2 kids, and our 3 fur babies (Samson, Storm, and Bane).

We love to laugh, read, exercise, play music, and compete with video and board games.

We’re always up for a good time and you can find us by our pool, serving in our church, hiking on a trail, or entertaining guests with some awesome backyard BBQ (specifically Brisket... yum yum).

We love our people hard and love making a difference. We have been incredibly blessed.

I'd love to have the opportunity to work with you and your teams.
