When did you begin creating events? Why?

Alex: “I founded Freebyrunning back in 2010 and the aim is to bring people together through art music dance anything creative. I also personally work with kids during the summer, that is a big part of it too. I like to inspire the next generation to pursue creativity in all areas of their lives. All I do I put positive energy into, and do so in honor of my brother and my grandfather, whom are with me in spirit. I love to perform and I was into alot of different things so in 2010 I started gathering people together and started creating and finding places to present showcases. I also do alot of events and creative activities with kids so that elementary to high school is always big part of the outreach too.”
