After they came to America, His father became a barber and his mother, a social worker. The family has moved from Virginia, to Maryland, and then to Washington State. Due to constantly moving homes with his family, he found it difficult to socialize with his classmates in school. He instead stayed home, and watched films with his two brothers.

After watching the Lord of the Rings trilogy, he knew he wanted to be an actor and filmmaker. In high school, Alex acted in his first play, Shakespeare's “Midsummer Nights Dream”. After graduating high school, Alex was left unsure about his future in the film industry due to family doubts, and high school adviser about what to do post high school. He was told that he should consider another career since being an actor, and film director, was unrealistic.

He eventually overcame this self-doubt and enrolled in Green River College in Auburn, Washington where he rediscovered his love for acting. At the Green River Theater, he played Job in "J.B.", Song Liling in "M. Butterfly", Lavatch (the clown) in "All's Well That End's Well", and Rosencrantz in "Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead". Alex graduated from Green River College with an Associate's in Art. After graduation, he decided to create his original short film "Unsealed Prophet", based an idea he had in his freshman year in College. Alex aims to release his first short into film festivals to simply give movie buffs an experience.
