Alex Glenn joined the United States Army as an infantryman in February 2010. After completing Infantry and Airborne School, he was assigned to the 101st Airborne Division at Fort Campbell, Kentucky. Shortly after arriving, Alex deployed to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. On March 27, 2011, while conducting a dismounted patrol, Glenn-Camden and his platoon were caught in a large ambush. During the firefight, Alex sustained a gunshot wound to the neck. Some of Alex’s military awards include the Purple Heart, Army Commendation Medal, Afghanistan Campaign Medal, Combat Infantryman Badge, and Parachutist Badge.

After returning home, Alex found golf during a difficult period of adjusting to life after his injury and deployment. What began as an escape quickly became an important part of his recovery, giving him a sense of purpose, community, and something positive to focus on. Wanting other veterans to experience what the game had given him, Alex co-founded Loops Fore Troops, a nonprofit that brings veterans together through golf and the art of caddying while building camaraderie, confidence, and opportunities within the golf industry. Alex is also a proud Alumni of Team 43 Sports and was selected as one of the veterans painted and featured in President George W. Bush’s Portraits of Courage. Today, Alex continues to give back to the veteran community, using golf as a way to bring veterans together and help them discover the same sense of connection and purpose the game provided him.
