Alex grew up in the city of Maquette, in Michigan’s upper peninsula.  He enjoyed playing football, basketball, baseball and swimming at Lake Superior with friends. He also played the trombone in the middle and high school bands.

He graduated with an Associate’s degree in Criminal Justice from Northern Michigan University and then graduated with his Bachelor’s degree in Accounting.  He felt that accounting would provide him with great opportunities later in life. He enjoyed political science and French classes outside of the core studies.

When Alex is not working, he is spending time with his wife, Destiny, daughter, Charlotte, and their lazy English Bulldog named Scout. He enjoys bike riding, lifting weights, studying languages on DuoLingo, reading books (especially Stephen King), playing in his slow-pitch softball league, traveling with his family and occasionally playing video games.
