Alex earned a bachelor’s degree history from Purdue University at Fort Wayne. After college, he spent eight years working in Indiana state government and politics, from an intern in the Indiana State Senate — where he met Maddison — to legislative and public policy director for the Bureau of Motor Vehicles. After eight years laboring in government, he changed direction and earned a bachelor’s degree in nursing from Marian University in Indianapolis. He is studying for his licensure exam and plans to begin work in pediatrics, eventually obtaining advanced practice licensure to open his own practice.
