Alex works as a CitiStat Analyst for OPI, using the power of data to improve city government service for Baltimore residents.  His work involves harnessing available data to collect insights about city services and presenting that analysis to city leaders to inform decision-making. Before joining the city, Alex worked seasonally in the wine industry for four years, traveling between the northern and southern hemispheres for alternating harvests (by far the busiest time of year in winemaking). Alex's work included generating and analyzing data throughout the winemaking process, from vineyard to bottle.  Before that, he competed in the sport of skeleton for 3 years.

Alex earned a Bachelor’s degree in Communications from Medaille College in Buffalo, and a Master’s Degree in Public Relations and Communication from Leeds-Beckett University in Leeds, UK.  He says, "Neither has anything to do with what I do now or did in wine."
