Getting personal...
Alex lives in Whitefish, Montana where he spends his free time fly fishing, hiking, and camping throughout the summer, and skiing when the snow comes in. Above all, he values time with his family, whether that's out on the trails or closer to home. A North Carolina native at heart, his loyalty to the Panthers and Tar Heels has never wavered.
