Alexandre Contreras, VT: This has been an amazing journey for me, 15 years. I put in my dues in this great profession. I chased after my dream since I was a little kid. I remember very clearly watching Animal Planet, the Discovery Channel, NatGeo Wild, Emergency Vets with my grandpa, and I knew that I wanted to be in this position at 8 years old. And I'm 36 now, and I'm just so grateful for this, man. And I plan to truly be that embodiment that when you chase after your dreams back with your passions, anything can be possible.
