Alex Minsky is a retired Marine corporal and now a model. At the beginning of his first tour of Afghanistan in 2009, his Humvee hit a roadside bomb and his right leg was amputated. He spent 47 days in a coma with a traumatic brain injury and 17 months in total in a hospital. After his brother died from a drug overdose, he entered a 23-month period of alcohol abuse, and to get out of it, he turned to physical fitness. It was during one of his routine workouts that he was approached by a fashion photographer named Tom Cullis.[1] However, his career did not start to take off until he was photographed nearly nude by the Los Angeles photographer Michael Stokes.[2]

He grew up in Mission Viejo, Orange County, California. Alex is the oldest of four siblings.[3] Minsky is 5′10″, weighs 165 lbs and has a 32" waist. He married in 2018.[4]
