Alex "The Natural" Goodwin is an animal caretaker from Marlborough, Massachusetts.
American Ninja Warrior 11[]
He first competed in American Ninja Warrior 11 in Baltimore, having gone little training beforehand. However, he proved to be a skilled competitor (hence his nickname, "The Natural"), making it as far as the fifth obstacle, Crank It Up, before tuckering out. He made it to the obstacle at a relatively quick and clean pace, however, as he ranked 15th at the end of the night.
In the city finals, he completed Crank It Up, but splashed down on the Salmon Ladder, placing 24th and not moving on.
American Ninja Warrior 15[]
Goodwin later competed three seasons later in the sixth qualifier. He completed the first three obstacles, but missed the bag on The Getaway. Despite this, he placed 9th and advanced to the semifinals.
He competed in the second semifinals. He had the unfortunate task of going against Jay Lewis, and ultimately failed the Hopscotch, once again not moving on to Vegas.
