“Alex is a refreshing force of nature. His wit, thoughtfulness, maturity, work ethic, and positivity make him a pleasure to spend time with at work developing strategies and solving difficult problems, or on the ski hill enjoying the mountains. I love his ‘there-has-got-to-be-a-way’ attitude and sense of humour because it made us laugh, and pushed me and everyone else to think a little harder and think a little differently. I loved working with Alex and you will too.”
