Alec Eickert on Swinging for the Fences and Keep Going

Alec is a business owner, entrepreneur, ultra-runner, mountaineer, and travel fanatic. He believes in the power and resilience of the human spirit and one who perpetually seeks to optimize life in all of its pillars.

Professionally, Alec is currently the Managing Partner of BDV Capital Group, a boutique capital advisory firm that works with select investment groups, largely focused in the real estate private equity space. Alec comes from an entrepreneurial family and a real-estate-focused family business in recent years.

Personally, he is a former Division One athlete for the University of Oregon, and now an ultra-marathoner and an avid mountaineer — currently climbing the highest point in all 50 states in America, while simultaneously pushing his running endurance limits consistently further, recently completing his furthest race yet, the Ultra Race of Champions 100km (62 miles) through the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia.

His favorite quote encompasses how he strives to live life: “One day your life will flash before your eyes; make sure it’s worth watching.” - GW.
