Alec was born and raised in Memphis, TN, and has truly sown his roots here in the Bluff City. He attended the University of Memphis, while also cutting his teeth in different restaurants around the city. During this time, he developed a passion for the hospitality industry and the art of creating authentic guest experiences. It was this passion for hospitality that led him to his current position with the Urban Earth team. Urban Earth has been the perfect environment to continue his professional growth. In Urban Earth’s Nursery & Market, Alec is able to marry his love of hospitality with the sprawling natural backdrop of the nursery creating a genuine guest experience. One of his favorite things about working at Urban Earth is getting to work with different local charities allowing him to give back to Memphis. When Alec is not working, he enjoys spending time with his newborn daughter and loving girlfriend. Their favorite activities are taking their dog for walks by the river, eating at local restaurants and being inspired by new hobbies.
