Hello.
My name is Alex Stewart.
Through the lens of sports, we find stories that are relatable to all of us . . . stories that are often touching, occasionally frustrating, but generally inspirational and motivational.
Sports have a way of bringing out the highest, best parts of our collective selves. Watching athletes overcome, excel, and triumph becomes a part of our own stories and creates memories that we share for generations with families, friends and communities.
The desire to witness and share these stories is what drives my journalistic philosophy and truly motivates me to excel as a sports broadcaster.
On this website you will find my resume and reel. If you like what you see, reach out via email, text, or call. I would love to talk with you about potential opportunities.
Thank you for stopping by. I look forward to hearing from you.
