Alexander was born in western New York in 1973. When his family relocated to the Washington DC area halfway through his high school education, he tested out of the rest of his classes. After a couple of fruitless attempts at making up classes for him to take (such as "Jazz Band: Independent Study"), his guidance counselor asked him what he wanted to do. He said, "How about and internship at a TV station?" His counselor agreed. After his semester-long internship ended, the producer he worked for offered him a job. He quickly worked his way up through the production ranks to Technical Director in less than two years time. One snowy winter's day, he was in the control room, preparing to technical direct, "In The Garden of Eden," a gardening program cablecast throughout the northeast to seven million households. The snow fall outside turned into a fierce storm, and the director of the show called in saying he was unable to leave his house. The producers were stuck. Alex told them he felt comfortable Directing and Technical Directing the show simultaneously. Reluctantly, the producers agreed, and the show aired flawlessly. At the age of 17, Alex had directed his first commercial television show. He stayed at the station for another 4 years until he graduated college with a degree in Journalism and Advertising Copywriting.
