Alea Bowen is a childhood friend and a current coworker of mine. She is a force of nature in the way that she smiles and everyone else around her smiles; she brings the good vibes. I feel so lucky that I was able to convince her to help me out with Tour de Force. She will be working on planning events, designing merchandise, and making an appearance here and there on the podcast. Listen to Alea talk about her experience with the Jr. Sharks, what it was like to be high school age and have the majority of your team leave town to go to boarding school, the rebuilding process, playing hockey at Lindenwood, living in San Francisco, and her dreams to be a physical therapist.
