About Alex

Alex joined the 680 NewsRadio team in 2015, doing everything from traffic to sports to field reporting before landing with the afternoon drive team. He is a surprising convert to big city life having grown up on a farm just outside Ilderton, Ontario before making the switch to attend Ryerson University's RTA School of Media. Now a dad to three girls, he and his wife have embraced city life in the west end of Toronto. He also serves as one of the pastors of a Baptist church in the city. A sports nerd, Alex keeps a foot in that world as the public address announcer for Toronto FC and Canada Soccer. He also remains a diehard Leafs fan, despite the pain, and looks forward to being part of the coverage of that long-awaited parade.
