Alex had multiple masters degrees and many careers. He started out as a repo man for the bank then left to open Covi’s bar in Carnegie. He was a concrete mason and a manager at McDonald's. He became a biology teacher at Chartiers Valley where he was the co-founder of the CV Youth Wrestling Program. He eventually became the Vice Principal at Keystone Oaks High School. Alex loved everything outdoors; hunting, fishing, scuba diving, canoeing, and horseback riding to name a few. He could operate any piece of machinery with his CDL. He was an expert gardener and could grow anything he planted. He was generous in sharing his produce with friends, often driving all over town with Patton in the passenger seat to deliver the fruits of his harvest. He also loved to make homemade wine.
