Alex was born in Murray, Utah. The oldest of five children, he and his family spent 18 months in Rock Springs, Wyoming. He then spent the rest of his growing-up years in Bountiful, Utah. Alex enjoys eating, making music, exercising, and playing games with his family. He served for a year as a library attendant in the Family and Church History Mission. Alex graduated from Weber State University with a bachelor’s degree in accounting and a minor in music. He works as a financial analyst for a hydroelectric utility and sings in the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Alex believes in putting the Lord first and letting everything else fall into place. His experiences with his mission and his same-sex attraction have helped him understand the love Heavenly Father has for all of His children, and that it sometimes takes a little creativity to figure out how to live the gospel. Alex is very grateful for the love and support he feels from his family and his priesthood leaders.
