Alex enjoys swimming with his school, and his club team, SPY Swimming based in Severna Park, because, he says, “When you're on a team, you grow up with the same group of kids, and you make a lot of close bonds.”
He enjoys distance events because “you've got to hold a pace for a long period of time.” The same could be said for his studies; he's in the top 10 percent of his class with a weighted GPA of 4.25.
On a partial academic scholarship to UMBC, Alex wants to become a mechanical engineer. He lives in Pasadena with his parents, Teresa and Norman, and has two others, 19- year-old Norm and 12-year-old Ben.
