Alex is an incredibly talented individual without all the drama that can come with someone with his level of skills. He is a hard worker that will get the job done no matter what. Obstacles are looked at as a challenge, not a difficulty. He was capable of quickly finishing any task that was assigned to him, whether he had done something like it before or not. He was able to quickly learn new software to get tasks completed as necessary. I can't say enough good things about Alex, as anyone that knows him or has worked with him can attest. If you want something to get done and get done right, Alex is the person for the job.

      This was such a fun assignment. You may have seen me, I was the guy in the corner booth with a DSLR camera and a notepad reviewing restaurants guerilla style. As many food reviewers had a chance to visit a resto more than once, my style was more about capturing that in the moment experience. Eventually, with the help of my editor, I was able to grown my column by adding recipes and different food related comings and goings. I enjoyed this writing experience greatly and it improved my critical writing by leaps and bounds. Show less
