ABOUT ME

My name is Alec Nelson and I'm 25 years old. I graduated a couple years ago from the University of Colorado at Boulder. Since then I've worked as a wildlife research technician in upper Michigan and as a Wrangler at a guest ranch in northwest Colorado. I love adventure and I love to have fun. In Michigan I had the chance to interact with black bears, gray wolves, bobcats, coyotes, and deer. As a wrangler I have the best job in the world where I ride amazing horses and work with amazing people every day in one of the most beautiful locations on Earth. I'm just trying to enjoy life right now and see as much of the world as I can. Anywhere that I can get in a good soccer game is a great place to be.

Interests

I love to play soccer, ride horses, experience nature and the wildlife within it, and travel. I wouldn't be who I am without the friends I've made and the family I have.
