About Alex

       Alex was born and raised in Norcross where he attended Norcross High School and was involved in the athletics programs by running scoreboards, video, and announcing. After graduating high school, Alex earned his bachelor’s degree in business administration while working full-time in management roles across several different industries, from retail to commercial swimming pool management.
        In 2014, Alex made the decision to shift careers to the legal field and began attending law school at Georgia State University College of Law. He graduated from law school in 2017 and has been a practicing attorney since then. Alex began his legal career working in a small, two lawyer general practice firm where he got exposure to a variety of different areas of the law. He transitioned to a general counsel position, in the transportation industry, for several years before he made the decision to open his own law firm, focusing on business law, contracts, and intellectual property.
      Once he finished law school and began working in the legal field, Alex decided it was time to purchase a house. Attracted to the lower taxes, less congestion, and small-town community feel, Alex made the move to Barrow County in 2018. As a Barrow County resident for the last several years, Alex has enjoyed watching the growth we are experiencing, and he is excited to help guide this growth so we can all continue to enjoy the features that make Barrow County a great place to live.
      Alex actively volunteers with high school athletics and is an adult volunteer with the 4-H youth organization. In his free time, Alex likes to get out and explore the outdoors, including hiking, rock climbing, and white water rafting. Alex is also working on his private pilots license and can sometimes be spotted in the skies above Barrow County.
