Today was an epic day of discovery. We started out on Zodiacs to explore the Inian Islands: What came was a sensory overload of wildlife. From humpback whales to sea otters to Steller sea lions. In the afternoon, we landed on the beach of Fox Creek. We set off into the forest to explore a completely different world than from this morning.
Alex was born and raised in Alabama. First living in a state park on the Tennessee River then growing up on Alabama’s white sand beaches, he has always had an affinity for nature and wildlife. Alex started his professional career while studying film at the University of Alabama. Working as a news cameraman, he covered President Obama’s inauguration and received three Associated Press awards. After graduating, Alex left news to enter the documentary world. Shortly after, the Deepwater Horizon oil spill happened, and he moved back home to Gulf Shores to document the tragedy for the city. This led him to Lindblad Expeditions-National Geographic with whom he has traveled around the world, chronicling the adventures of these once-in-a lifetime trips.
