Meet Alex
Your adventure guide
As a proud Northern Rivers local, Explore Ability owner Alex grew up on a macadamia farm, which instilled in him a deep appreciation for hard work and community. His career has been diverse, reflecting his passion for growth, leadership, and supporting others.
Alex—in his 30s with a growing family—started Explore Ability to share his passion for camping and outdoor adventures, with people who have never had the chance—or the capacity or support—to experience these adventures. He wanted to create opportunities for them to enjoy nature, build confidence, and achieve things they might have thought were out of reach.
Alex began his career as a high-level gymnastics coach and judge, fostering discipline and confidence in young athletes. Later, he owned and operated a local small business, gaining invaluable business management experience. Along the way, Alex worked on farms and managed various businesses, further strengthening his ability to adapt and lead in different environments.
