Alex grew up in the SF Bay Area where the definition of “hotness” was dictated by “beautiful” people in popular magazines and TV shows. His entire childhood, he felt trapped in his fat body and hated how he looked. That was until he realized what he had been taught his whole life was a lie. Hotness was more than perfect abs and bulging biceps, it was an attitude. And that he had! 

Fast forward and now Alex is a successful plus-size model, body acceptance advocate and role model to fat guys all around the world. He created the Hot Fat Guy Club to dispell the myths around diet culture, fatphobia, and other fat-people stereotypes. He wanted a community where people are celebrated, not shamed, for their body type. All are welcome!
