25 year old former US marine and Afghan war veteran Alex
Minsky has turned his tragedy into triumph. He lost his right leg in an
explosion in 2009 after driving over an improvised explosive device in
Afghanistan when he was just 21.
After losing his leg, he fell into depression and heavy
drinking but with the help of his family, he found himself again and made some
changes in his life. He also started working out regularly at a gym and that
was where he was discovered by model scouts. Alex is now a sought after fitness
and underwear model. "I just want people from nearby and far away to be
inspired to try harder and never give up on themselves" Alex said in a
recent interview. "I didn't set out to be an underwear model. I was just
taking care of myself and working out. It just so happens that I look good in
underwear. "
Alex donates a percentage of his modeling earnings to the
Wounded Warriors project..MASSIVE!!!.
