San Diego residents and Navy SEALS Alex West and Kyle Buckett have captured the attention of Starbucks and are featured together as one of 11 films in the brand’s original content series Upstanders Season 2. At the event, Alex and Kyle will discuss why they spend their nights and weekends designing specialized surfboards for wounded warriors along with Rajiv Chandrasekaran, who co-produced the series with Starbucks executive chairman Howard Schultz. Before joining Starbucks, Rajiv spent 21 years as an editor and correspondent at The Washington Post and has written two best-selling novels; Rajiv’s background enabled the series to be from a journalistic lens about the human spirit and what is important to the country.
