Alexander was born and raised in Miami, Florida—a mutt of Cuban and Swedish upbringing (his parents met on a dare, which may or may not be his next feature). Less than a month after graduating from the University of Miami almost 10 years ago, he took the plunge across the country to Los Angeles to pursue screenwriting.

Not knowing where to start, he landed an internship at several production companies while tutoring kids on the weekends. Eventually, the stars aligned for an assistant position at a talent management company where he cut his teeth covering scripts for clients. He went on to other production companies and continued to plow through the weekend read, covering as many scripts as possible. He credits doing coverage as the single most helpful tool in learning how to write screenplays. He stayed inspired and motivated thanks to his supportive writer’s group.

He then became a writer’s assistant on the reboot of The Twilight Zone, which is his favorite show of all-time. Some of his earliest writing as a kid were Twilight Zone-inspired short stories.

Alexander has 13 thirteen features and two pilots. He has a problem with history, and you can most likely find him cooking up a storm in the kitchen.
