Early Life
Alex was born and raised in Los Angeles, California, and attended the local high school there.
He loves the city and feels that whilst you can explore new areas, you can never get tired of it. He’s the son of a psychologist and set designer who gave him the education that helped him complete high school before pursuing a college degree in business and economics.
In hindsight, he feels that he would have studied computer science. He went on and received a Master’s of Fine Arts, and believes that both degrees helped him increase his creativity to come up with businesses that can work for the masses.
After completing his studies, he joined various businesses to hone his craft which included Viacom and Disney.
Being an Angeleno who worked with Disney and had an impressive resume, many assumed that he would pursue a career in film or theatre-like his friends and family.
However, he decided to pursue entrepreneurship. After missing a movie because he wasn’t able to find a parking spot, it sparked an idea, and Alex went on to create a business that would help people find parking spots all over the world.
