Alex is the founder of the NonProfit organization Because I Said I Would.  Because I said I would is a social movement and nonprofit dedicated to bettering humanity through promises made and kept. To encourage positive change and acts of kindness, we send “promise cards“ to anywhere in the world at no cost. People use these cards to remember the importance of their word, for promises both big and small.  Alex was born in Toledo, Ohio and was raised in Powell, Ohio. He graduated from Olentangy High School in 2003 and continued his academic career at Ohio University as a proud Bobcat where he received his B.B.A.
