The Bachelorette premiered on July 11, 2022, and producers introduced fans to a new format to spice things up on the show. Instead of one Bachelorette, this season features two – Gabby Windey and Rachel Recchia. After getting their hearts broken by Clayton Echard’s season of The Bachelor when he fell in love with three of his finalists, the women returned for their own turn calling the shots. One of The Bachelorette contestants is Alec Garza. Here’s everything we know about Alec, including what he does for a living, his age, Instagram, and more.

Who is Alec Garza on this season of ‘The Bachelorette’ with Gabby Windey and Rachel Recchia?

Alec is one of several men competing for Gabby or Rachel’s hearts in this season of The Bachelorette, and he made quite the entrance in the premiere episode. Alec had a children’s choir sing what we can only guess is an Alec original called “Clayton Sucks.” While the women were tired of the guys bringing up their past season with Clayton, they chuckled at the song’s lyrics before meeting Alec.

ABC describes Alec as “charismatic, athletic, funny and, why lie, he loves to be the center of attention. Alec describes marriage as sacred and he isn’t interested in settling for anything less than his true soul mate.”

Alec considers himself very driven and wants to find a partner that matches that level of ambition. He believes he needs someone on the “same wavelength” when it comes to passion and hustle in order to create a long-lasting relationship.

How old is Alec Garza, and what does he do for a living?

Alec is 27 years old, and ABC lists his occupation as a wedding photographer. His LinkedIn profile gives a few more details about his job, however. Alec owns his own company called AJG Works and serves as the business’ CEO. According to his LinkedIn page, Alec likes to “help bring clients visions to life through photography and video.” He also states he has “a passion for making YouTube videos about movies, games, and entertainment.”
