A proud Theatricks alumnus, Alex’s journey in the performing arts began in the very community he now seeks to support. He is a graduate of the National Theatre School of Canada, where he honed the technical and artistic foundations that have fueled his professional career.
Alex is perhaps best known for his portrayal of Albert Narracott in the Canadian premiere of War Horse (Mirvish).

He is dedicated to helping the next generation of performers find their voice, sharpen their technique for stage and film, and navigate the transition from high school to professional training programs to the professional world with confidence and authenticity.
