Alu is a former amateur boxer and fought three times in 2025. A lifelong mixed martial artist, power lifter, football player, and NASM-certified personal trainer, Alu enjoys playing and teaching nearly every form of exercise and sport imaginable. Alu entered the 1,000-pound club in 2018 at a body weight of 138 pounds, making him one of the lightest men to ever attain that goal. Alu also trained in parkour and martial arts tricking and taught himself gymnastics.

Alu previously served as the President of the Foundation for New Hampshire Independence, a non-profit educational organization dedicated to informing NH citizens about the benefits of independence from the federal government. In that role, Alu raised $50,000 and commissioned a SurveyUSA poll as part of the Foundation’s effort to assess public sentiment toward independence from D.C.

For the past decade, Alu has been a frequent speaker at liberty events, political meetings, and other conferences. Alu identifies as a voluntaryist and the “biggest secessionist in the world.”

Alu is the founder, owner, and editor-in-chief of LibertyBlock.com, one of the longest-running pro-freedom publications and podcasts. It has consistently produced a weekly show for over five years and counting, and its articles and other content have reached millions. Alu still writes articles for The Liberty Block and appears on the podcast when his schedule allows.

As an aspiring polyglot, Alu practices his languages by translating his articles and books into Spanish and reaching out to Latino members of the community who could benefit from learning about personal liberty and government accountability. His goal is to translate all of his work into Spanish, and possibly other languages. He is currently studying Hebrew and German.

For fun, Alu enjoys spending time with family, exercising, learning, reading, teaching, traveling, listening to nearly every type of music, meeting new people, and would love to spend more time learning the piano and saxophone. Alu currently lives in Virginia with his wife and two children.
