MEET Alexander

Alexander is the Program Assistant at Knoxville Movement Collective and Ashley’s right hand. He’s a second set of eyes on administrative tasks, event logistics, and all the behind-the-scenes details that help KMC thrive. By handling day-to-day operations, he helps Ashley stay focused on the bigger picture and future of KMC.

A Knoxville native, Alexander grew up exploring the city’s parks and trails, which sparked a lifelong love for the outdoors. From soccer and tennis to hiking and climbing, he’s always found creative ways to stay active—and he’s passionate about helping others do the same.

When he’s not supporting KMC events or keeping us on track, you’ll probably find him discovering new food spots, hanging with friends, or daydreaming about a future farm full of animals. (Yes, all the animals.)

Being part of KMC is a dream come true for Alexander, and he’s all in on helping this community grow and thrive.
