News writer; Opinion columnist
Alex is a Los Angeles-based journalist and writer with over a decade of experience covering the worlds of finance, entertainment, and gaming for some of the most prominent magazines and websites in the world.
Through hard work, hustle, and an ability to create compelling narratives, he's become a sought-after content writer by world-class publications such as New York Magazine and the Hollywood Reporter and Fortune 500 companies including Avery Dennison and Office Depot.
He's also worked as a screenwriter and has writing credits on two feature films, the Disney Channel film Pants on Fire and the faith-based hit I Can Only Imagine.
The most important lesson he's learned as a writer is that everyone, whether they're a movie star, CEO, or ride-share driver, has their own fascinating story to tell, and his joy in life is hearing those stories and sharing them with the world, whether through articles, blog posts, thought leadership pieces or screenplays.
