Alex was 14 the first time he came to Power Monkey Camp.
 He didn’t grow up with a father figure. But at 13 he stepped into the gym at 206 South and met Zach. For the first time he had someone who finally provided him stability and loved him for who he was. 
There’s a photo from his first camp. At the time, Zach was showing him wrestling drills he didn’t even understand yet. It’s 4 years later and next year Alex is heading to college to wrestle. “By no stretch am I a special kid,” he says. “This guy does this for so many kids. I see it every single day. I see kids smile when they see him, and I see him smile back. He’s always happy to give a hug and a helping hand — and the truth is, more kids need that.” — @206south is a partner of the Power Monkey Education Foundation.
