Alexander was a student at West Lake High School in Eagle Mountain, Utah, and was a former student at Forest Park High School. He enjoyed working out and keeping in shape by weight lifting and boxing. The outdoors was also a favorite, as he liked to crew and long boarding. During quiet times, he loved to draw, fix and build things, do experiments, play the guitar and the saxophone. Like most teenagers, video games were also a big part of his life.
