An electrical engineer by training, Alvin has manly interests including renewable energy and embedded systems. He believes that for a region to be truly independent they must be responsible for their own energy and food security. A firm believer in the creation of critical thinkers, Alvin has worked in the industry and various levels of academia including high school. It was while working at the high school level he recognized a vacuum exists where many young men do not have a father figure and seek to find their identity from negative images in media and poor role models in their society. Alvin created the Manly Man Series to tackle this problem; to create media which shares a message of responsibility and to challenge young men to become better versions of themselves.
