Alex, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Co-Founder of William's Wardrobe, enjoys reading, cooking, and making people laugh. He’s on a bowling league and during the warmer Minnesota months loves to bicycle throughout the Twin Cities. William’s diagnosis led to Alex getting a heart screening and finding that he too was born with a bicuspid aortic valve. William gave his dad the gift of knowledge, so he can be monitored as time goes on and receive medical intervention before anything life threatening surprises him.

As someone who has seen what it is like to live in a hospital with a sick child as both a nurse and a loved one, the mission of William's Wardrobe is very close to her heart. Kara is in graduate school obtaining her doctorate in nursing practice, but when she is not working or studying, she is enjoying time with her family and two dogs.
Bailey lives in Minnesota, where life pretty much revolves around her dogs, cats, and horses—and she wouldn’t have it any other way. By day, she’s behind the chair at a salon specializing in extensions and color. The rest of the time, she’s soaking up live music, spending time with the people (and animals) she loves, or binging some kind of terrible trash TV.
A close friend of Alex and Stephany, Bailey has believed in the heart behind William’s Wardrobe from the very beginning. She’s honored to be part of something that reminds people they’re not alone, and that kindness, dignity, and community still matter.
