Alex was born and raised in Denver, Colorado and received his undergraduate degree from CU Boulder in 1993. Alex dreamed of practicing law in San Diego, so he attended California Western School of Law in San Diego, where he was named to the Dean’s Honor List and enjoyed internships with the California Superior Court, that San Diego District Attorney’s Office and San Diego City Attorney’s Office, which honored him with a Certificate of Apprenticeship for “outstanding and exemplary performance.” Alex passed the California Bar Exam with scores high enough to waive into Colorado but, true to his dreams, began practicing with a small firm in San Diego. The pull of family still living in Denver caused Alex to move back to his home town, where he practiced for years before deciding that we could make a bigger difference in a small town. After a great deal of research and soul searching, Alex decided upon Sterling.
