Growing up on a property in rural New South Wales, Alex appreciated the radio as it was always on the old rust bucket tractors driven around the farm.
Before joining the ABC, Alex worked as a theatre technician and sound technician for multiple years, while studying a Bachelor of Media majoring in Radio, Digital Audio and Broadcast Production at Macquarie University in Sydney.
During this time, Alex also volunteered with multiple community radio stations which led to a breakfast slot in Sydney.
After 18 months of broadcasting breakfast during continuous COVID-19 lockdowns, Alex felt drawn back to the country and moved out to Gilgandra, near Alex's hometown.
After a stint working with ABC Western Plains in Dubbo as a News Reporter, Alex moved out to Orange and is currently presenting the ABC Central West Breakfast show.
