Alexander was born in Boston, MA and was raised in Wallingford, CT near the prep school Choate Rosemary Hall. The son of a teacher there, he graduated Choate before moving to New York City to study at the Tisch School of the Arts at NYU.

He is a playwright by way of performing and music. He has done jobs onstage and off, and has played music in classical and contemporary groups. Along the way, he lived in Montana to work on a ranch, and in Italy to study Commedia dell’Arte. He also co-founded a children’s company Turtle Dance Music, in which he performed inclusive music shows for children and children with disabilities in libraries in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania, and developed arts-integrated education programs for public schools in Hartford, CT.

His plays have been performed in New York City, as well as across the country and in the UK. He has worked with theatre companies such as Theater Reconstruction Ensemble, Fresh Ground Pepper, Missing Bolts Productions, NoPassport Theatre Alliance, Story People Theatre Group, Nylon Fusion Collective, and Altruistic Theatre Company, as well as with AFTER ORLANDO: A Global Theatre Action. His short film, "The Short Goodbye," was selected for the New York Shorts International Film Festival and the Middlebury New Filmmakers Festival.

He received his MFA in Playwriting at The New School for Drama, and most likely on his bicycle at the moment.
