Alexander Buck is an Addiction Recovery Coach from Los Angeles. As well as an Ironman triathlete, ultra marathon runner, musician and animal rights activist. Growing up in Southern California as a child actor the turmoil of the entertainment industry and a rocky home life would ultimately lead him down a path of severe addiction. However after a decade under the influence, through the power of a shift in to a positive mindset, self discipline and a more selfless plant-based lifestyle he was able to leverage himself out of addiction to become the person he is today. As opposed to searching for answers at the bottom of a bottle you will now find him chasing endurance goals, raising awareness for animal welfare and attempting to help those around him get healthier, stronger and find the peace and clarity they themselves may be searching for.
