​

Alex became an engineer primarily inspired by the need to address current environmental concerns. He has a passion for sustainability, which led him to join Engineers for a Sustainable World, and eventually, the Solar Chill Project. One aspect that he enjoys the most about the project is knowing that the Solar Chill team has a complete say as to how they want to design the structure, and then can see it out to its completion. The project allows for students to apply their knowledge that they have learned in school into real-world environments. Another engineering project Alex is involved in is the Solar Drive Project, which plans to build a solar powered race car to potentially compete at the American Solar Challenge. Outside of engineering involvement, he is part of Tritons for Bernie, Venture Crew, and Mind Body Nutrition. In his free time, Alex likes to play tennis, swim, produce music, and go on outdoor adventures.
