Alex grew up on the western slope of the Rocky Mountains, drawn to the contrast between nature's beauty and those who push themselves in extreme environments. His early work reflected this world, collaborating with clients like Redbull Media House, ESPN, Powder Magazine, and Forbes. As a filmmaker, his goal is to tell broader stories about life and passion through adventure. He holds an MFA in producing from The American Film Institute Conservatory in Los Angeles and currently works as development executive at Gravel, a film/tv company founded by Jay Carson (The Morning Show) and Lije Sarki (The Peanut Butter Falcon).
