Alex worked at Denver Public Schools for many years, most recently as the Dean of Students at Bear Valley International School. He had a deep passion to save lives in any way he could. He loved working with kids and wanted to save students from bad situations.

Alex was an avid sports fan and loved the Denver Broncos and Denver Nuggets. He loved music and rapping. He loved all types of music but his favorite was 50 Cent and G-Unit. Most importantly, Alex loved spending time with his family. He loved road trips and movie nights with his family and was looking forward to their upcoming trip to NYC for spring break.

Alex was known for his huge heart, infectious laugh and smile and his kind and compassionate spirit. He was the type of person that couldn’t leave a gathering without hugging everyone goodbye and letting them know how good it was to see them.
