Alex was born and raised in Erie, attending high school at Strong Vincent before coming to Gannon. While at Gannon he was very active at Gannon's radio station, WERG. After graduating, Alex earned his Master of Arts in Television, Radio and Film at the Syracuse University Newhouse School. Alex then moved to New York City in 2003, and has worked in broadcast television advertising production, multimedia production management and web video. Today, Alex works as a Multimedia Producer for the health information website WebMD. In his current roll, he produces shoots, edits video and builds multimedia video programs for the site.

Set your sites high and NETWORK! Get out there and talk to people who do the things you think you may want to do after graduation. Use alumni contacts to make connections and gather advice. This is one of the single biggest things you can do to start building your career even before entering the work force.

Gannon offered an affordable education in a smaller setting for a more intimate experience.

Working at the radio station was, by far, the highlight of my time at Gannon. WERG allowed me to take the concepts I was learning in the classroom and apply them to something very tangible. I tried new things, experimented with shows and formats and nurtured my creativity in ways that are virtually impossible once you enter the working world. I was able to develop my creative and leadership skills while I was there and, at the same time, build friendships that have endured ever since.
