What are some "fun facts" about Alex?
- Alex got inspired to become a handyman from watching This Old House. “I’ve been watching This Old House for as long as I can remember, and it inspired me to teach myself how to build and repair things around the house. Over the years, I’ve taken on a number of DIY projects, including two full bathroom remodels,” he shared. His most recent project was installing luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout his home.
- Like his two boys, Alex also participated in sports. He played football and wrestled in high school.
- If Alex could only eat one thing for the rest of his life, it would be his wife’s bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich on fluffy Texas toast.
