Alex Alexander’s alter ego is known as Harry Alexander. After a building collapsed around him in 2001 the Army sent him packing. He traveled the country working as an outdoor educator, mountain guide, and counselor. After vowing to give up social work for good, he went back to school and studied bio-technology. He currently resides in the northwest with his wife and son. When not writing he makes his living as, you guessed it, a social worker.

“Some day you will be able to step back and see the entire work of art. In that moment you will understand how truly remarkable and beautiful your life was. You will realize that every brush stroke had a purpose. When you finally see the masterpiece in its entirety you will understand that there was no other way it could have ever been painted.”
Alex Alexander, Flight of Icarus
