Very few times our life are we able to meet someone, who's life story completely takes our breath away and leaves us saying ..."WOW" ... Benjamin 'Benji' Alexander is that kind of person! The story of Benji Alexander is one that Disney movies are based upon. It embodies courage, resiliency, tenacity, an incredible sense of sacrifice that is coupled with sense of FEARLESSNESS that is only second to his incredible work ethic.

With less than two years of complete dedication to becoming a World Class athlete, Benjamin Alexander pursued an interest that made him an Olympic inspiration. During the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, Benji became the first person to represent the country of Jamaica as an Alpine Skier. At the age of 38, Benji turned a business trip into a DREAM. Not to mention ... he accomplished this incredible achievement "without" a coach.

While on a trip to Canada, he would experience the excitement and energy of skiing. Instantly, he fell in love with the speed and adrenaline rush skiing provides. This experience would go on to change his life forever.

In true "movie style" fashion, Benji's story begins with numerous trials and tribulations as a young child, growing up in Northamptonshire, England. The son of working class parents, Benji had to overcome numerous challenges both in school and in life. These challenges would only make him "stronger" and more resilient than anyone could ever imagine. Throughout life, his hard work and captivating personality would provide opportunities to meet and befriend people that would help open doors for him. As he pursued his education, he found himself studying finance in University. Soon he would become a money management executive, a dream career for many. But achieving this milestone was not enough. It seemed lack the creativity and personal appeal he seemed to have in his life. It was at this time, that the financial wizard would chose to leave the fortunes he helped build and manage for others as well as himself, to pursue his passion for music. Benjamin Alexander the financial executive, would become a world class DJ for events taking place all over the world. 

One of the most inspirational facets of Benji's story rests in his ability to pool together many of his talents. Whether it's his incredible work ethic and passion for overcoming challenges that would inspire world class athletes and coaches to come to his aide as coaches and/or mentors, or it was his business acumen that helped him raise the funds needed to pursue such a dream and attain the equipment sponsorship he needed just to compete. Benji's story truly displays a mindset that can be an inspiration for so many. It is this "CAN DO ..." mindset that now fuels his new passion ... to help children experience the same dream he reached!
