REGEX (javascript) – Allow alphanumeric characters with special characters not in the first position

I\’d like to devise a regex expression that allows alphanumeric characters, as well as other characters as long as they\’re not in the first position. Examples:

VALID: Test
VALID: Hello123
VALID: 456 Hi
VALID: 456-789
VALID: Hi-777
VALID: 333-Hi
VALID: Hello-There
VALID: What\'s Up
VALID: Hello#Goodbye

INVALID: -Hello
INVALID: &Goodbye

Here\’s my starting point, which only allows alphanumeric:

/[a-zA-Z]+/
