Former marine turned amputee becomes fitness & underwear model


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. #BeInspired!

A member of the Boizmilitary/ chief honcho Pyramid Group.

US and Alex's family help he alot to become a super model.
Alex is a kindhearted man by giving his 1/10 percentage of his earnings to the wounded warriors. Thanks for the personal transformation and self discovery after his year in marine.

Mr. Best denies having intentions for the office of the D.O.S in the forthcoming S.U.G election.

Sometimes I am forced to relent in my efforts to contribute my own quota towards the growth and development of ANSU social sector. This is because my efforts are mistaken to be a trick and a way to get into ANSU politics. Which is fallacy! Rumors already have it that I intend vying for the office of the Director of Social (D.O.S) in the forthcoming elections. I little wonder who told them that. Whoever started that rumor is a good rumor monger and should be employed! Well, my friends, my little contribution to the growth of ANSU is due to the passion I have to be a change that I want to see. The last encounter I had with students from UNILAG was an unpleasant. It happened some months ago when I paid the Literature students a visit and introduced myself as a student of ANSU. But I was shocked when non of the students admitted to be familiar with the name ANSU talk more of Igbariam Campus. They asked me weather I was talking of UNIZIK, I said no, its near Unizik. Still my efforts t
