Alex has lived in Chicago all his life. In 2016, he discovered the Starting Strength method and has been applying it ever since. The method had life changing results, adding over 90 pounds of body weight in 2 years. Wanting to help others achieve their goals, he began coaching shortly after that. Alex graduated from the University of Illinois with a B.A. in Philosophy. In May of 2022, he earned his Starting Strength Coach credential. Alex also competes in powerlifting. In his free time, he loves to watch and talk about movies.

Alex is a great coach. He is very knowledgeable and an excellent instructor. You would be hard pressed to find anyone better.
Alex is fantastic. He has a breadth of experience in coaching, and is able to pinpoint issues and find cues that work for each specific person. His programming is very effective at producing gains in strength while also being manageable long term, and he is great ad adapting it as time goes on. He’s also just a pleasant and interesting guy to hang around at the gym. I highly recommend Alex as a coach.
Alex is best-in-class! Extremely knowledgeable (insanely so) and completely dedicated. I blindly trust his training program. Starting out or seasoned trainee, he’s going to get you to your goals…and beyond.
