Alex Deans Biography

Alex Deans is one of the most popular and richest Alpine Skier who was born on May 1, 1997 in Windsor, Windsor, Canada. Alexander Matthew Deans was born on May 1, 1997 in Windsor, Ontario, Canada to ophthalmologist Robin Deans and Joan Deans. He has an older sister Nicola, and a younger brother, Marcus. Alex’s father spoke of his childhood that he “was never really pushed to achieve in academics or competition. Instead, from a very young age, he was allowed to go out, play, and find and make things on his own”. Deans was raised in Windsor, Ontario and attended Académie Ste Cécile International School in South Windsor for primary and secondary school. He speaks English and French.

Deans’ refinement of the device, which he renamed “iAid”, was presented in Lethbridge, Alberta in 2013. The reworked model incorporated GPS planning, outdoor navigation aids, and tactile feedback through use of an innovative joystick. The device won Deans both the fair and funding from corporations including Youth Science Canada and BlackBerry. The model was continually tested at the Canadian National Institute for the Blind with the visually impaired community to garner feedback.

In June, the iAid began exhibiting at the Ontario Science Centre in the Weston Family Innovation Centre. In October, Deans became Royal Bank of Canada’s official ambassador for its ChangeAgents program, partnering with Canadian band Hedley to promote the project. Deans spoke at several We Day events across Canada that year alongside Demi Lovato and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to 160,000 youth, including in Toronto and Vancouver in a segment including Hedley and at Ottawa, Winnipeg, and Calgary. In 2015, Deans was awarded a Schulich Leader Scholarship to study Engineering at McGill University. In 2016 and 2017, Deans partnered with ACCO Brands and MeadWestvaco for a digital campaign with Five Star to promote creativity.

Deans credits an encounter he had at age 12 with a visually impaired woman as his inspiration to create iAid. He noticed that she was struggling to cross the street and “asked if she needed any help and realized that she was visually impaired. I saw that she didn’t have any independence and couldn’t navigate well.” Deans taught himself to code, combining his knowledge of bat echolocation with robotics to create iAid prototypes. In an interview with CTV Canada AM anchor Marci Ien in June 2015, Deans remarked that “nature is an incredible innovator,” and aimed to mimic bat echolocation through the development of the iAid.

Deans has been an alpine skier since age 2. In 2011, he was selected to compete for Team Canada at the International Children’s Games, organized by the International Olympic Committee.
