Although he’s a third-grade teacher at Highland Elementary right next door to CCHS by day, Alex is no stranger to the stage. He has performed for over a decade in community and high school theatrical productions, both as an on-stage actor and a pit musician. Applying that love of theater in his current season of life, he helped to establish Highland’s first-ever musical production club, for which he currently serves as a co-director and helps to produce an annual musical. Given that one of Alex’s passions is inspiring a love of the arts in elementary-level students, he could not be more thrilled to be a part of Cedar Cliff’s production team as the Children’s Director. When he’s not near a stage, Alex loves spending time outdoors with his husband and dog, cooking, and drinking good coffee.
