After growing up in Vancouver, Alex spent almost a decade serving in Summer Camp Ministry, while studying and travelling as much as possible. This all led to a move to Ontario and marrying his wife, Michelle, in 2014. After a few years in Ontario running drop-in programs at a local Youth Center, Alex and Michelle transitioned back to the West Coast.

While leaning into his growing passion for Youth Ministry, Alex ended up back in Vancouver working as the Student Life Coordinator at a local Christian Secondary School, and Michelle continued work as an oncology nurse.

Then, in 2018, Alex joined the Pioneer Pacific team as Program Director. Years later, his role has changed, but his heart for this Team, our Camping Ministry, as well as our greater Pioneer Pacific Community has only grown.

Alex loves the work that we do, and is especially excited to see the continued growth of our Youth Leadership Programs. He is keen to grow in this community as he serves and leads.
