The Rock with a Gigantic Heart

Alex is a man of great stature and strength.  He has always been a very passionate and independent individual since early childhood!  From the days he first became a Gamer, to these days of devotion to Drifting, he puts his whole being into whatever he does.  He is internally driven to do and be the best at everything he partakes of in life. 

When Alex was about ten he started messing around with computers.  Before too long he was breaking codes on games, then creating his own codes.  Once he got his own computer, he was taking it apart and making it bigger and badder.  No one taught him, he just dove in and did it.  He would spend weekends at LAN partys, existing on pizza, Mountain Dew and very little sleep.  He designed the entire website for Voyage Computer store.  No one taught him the HTML language; he doesn't know the word can't.

Today, Alex has a thriving business called Geek for Hire.  Look in the yellow pages of the Little Rock phonebook and you will see his ad.  He has worked for others in the computer world.  Now he has taken that step out there on his own, no job too big or small.  It has been a great source of bonus income as well.

Alex loves his favorite hobby - drifting.  He is often the center of attention at events, maybe not the fastest or the most expensive car, but definitely the driver with the most fierceness.  A half dozen weekends a year you will find Alex and Lindsay in Holly Springs, or Texas, or Nashville doing together what they love best.  Alex is always working on bringing an event to Arkansas, and his perseverance will make it happen.

Alex has a warmth and vitality that draws everyone he meets to him. When he was four, his charm landed him the role in a couple of commercials because of his infectious personality and cuteness.  He never fit into any group at school because he crossed the borders.  He hung with all the kids and joined in an array of activities.  Think of the last time you haven't seen Alex in a good mood - you can't!

Since growing up in a divorced family, he took on the role of being the man of the house very early.  He was the one in charge when the kids came home from school when they were latch key kids.  He began driving them to the bus stop at age 14.  He bravely stood up on numerous occasions to Toby when it wasn't easy, to say the least.  Alex was there for me in times of trouble to lean on and also in times of happiness to share in the joy.  Alex has always been a person that his friends came to and share their problems with him, relying on him for wisdom and support.  In high school he was often saddled with being the best friend and not the boyfriend.  Now he is the fiance.  :)

Today Alex has plans for his future.  One day of course, he and Lindsay will wed.  And I know both of them look forward to that day they have children.  Recently, he has been working with a young man in his auto body shop.  The job would fit much better into his schedule as he is going to start school full time in the fall.  And the business Geek for Hire will always be up and running.  Alex isn't happy if he isn't going at a full speed run while juggling 4 balls in the air.  Yet he always has time for those who love him.

I love you Axle, you are my Hero!
