ALEX (SUMUEL) GROVES, FOUNDER
I’m Alex, a Virginia Beach native with a passion for all things family, technology and travel.
As an alumna of Old Dominion University, I double-majored in Information Technology and Business Management. Go Monarchs!
For the past 17 years, I’ve been part of a Downtown Norfolk personal injury law firm, where I currently serve as the Director of Operations, having previously held the role of Marketing Director.
Outside the office, I embrace my love for exploring the world as a freelance travel journalist and digital publisher.
My travel adventures have been featured on media outlets across the country, I am a direct publisher on several major online news websites, and a member of the Society of American Travel Writers.

NICK GROVES, CO-FOUNDER
I’m Nick Groves, a proud Smithfield, Virginia, native with a passion for family, tradition, and adventure.
I’m a second generation Virginia Tech alum and a lifelong fan of the Beamer Ball era—my Hokie pride runs strong.
With over a decade of experience in the meat processing industry, I have gained extensive knowledge by blending hands-on experience with corporate insight.
When I’m not working, I enjoy traveling, sailing, spending time with family, working out, and finding balance with hot yoga.
I also love capturing moments as Alex’s photographer, videographer, and drone operator to create visuals for our travel stories.
